Looks like a Lion engine to me. 500 BHP@ circa 2000 RPM. Gearbox? Who needs gears? ;D
Twin overhead cams per bank, 4 valves per cylinder. Ali block. All in 1917, too. 8-)

The scary thing is that they had bu66er all brakes back then either. Gonads of steel required to drive any of that stuff. Still glad some people have the balls, and deep enough pockets to do so though. They are certainly more fun to watch than most modern motorsport.

The car was originally designed for speed records, not for going around a circuit. :-/ :-/
