Sharp thinking, I wouldn't have seen that and reached that conclusion though I now see why you say that; both engines have the same included angle between the cylinders. The pulley you're seeing is actually attached to the end of the camshaft - this is FWD so the crankshaft is going directly into the transaxle. Just like the Cord, the transmission was the weak link in this particular drive system.
