Except it’s not; it’s a 5.0 bored 4v variant of the 4.6 they purchased and modified. Supposedly the design was based of the Sean Hyland motorsports block. This info came out when they made the “first” N/A modular for the first jesko make 600hp. If you see the engines out of the cars it’s unmistakable. Unless they have made a switch since 2019 to the coyote platform and i’ve not heard this.
I got this information from a modular engine builder with pics of the engines side by side. I always thought it was a different engine.
And here is road and tracks piece on it.

Unmistakably Ford based but at this point pretty much just the geometry. Still cool AF, guess it's a decent platform after all. Why reinvent the wheel when you can reinvent the transmission lmao.
Yup, they designed and cast their own blocks. The only thing still shared is bore spacing at this point I believe and maybe some sensor locations. Cool nonetheless.
We are working on a Fiat 500 right now and I never knew it before but these little 1.4L engines I believe they are use a version of actuator controlled valves. Obviously not as exotic as Koenigsegg's version of it but it does appear that the tech is trickling down in one form or another.
That car is dope. Cool story about naming it after his dad, too.
I think they are actually working with a large car manufacturer to use freevalve. Just the Gamera is the 1st car that will be in the hands of the public with the technology.
