Thanks to everyone for the advice.

The Cycle-Car's engine is a V-2, 500 cc that's rated at 15 hp. This engine was built for the military model Indian 741-B cycle used in WW2. Dad bought the engine from NOS at a military surplus store in Detroit. It's 4-cycle, with a dry sump and an oil tank. You can see the tank in the photo to the right of the engine.

I didn't know that they imported 2-cycle engines/cycles from Europe after the war. If you travel to Springfield, MA, on Google Earth, you'll find that about 2/3 of the Indian factory still exists and appears to be in good condition.
