That was good, since it didn't have a performance decreasement like the so-called "Atkinson" ones. It also had some popularity in stationary/industrial and marine engines in the 40s and 50s. May be nice to work around it into a Diesel, with a twincharger setup (then, the supercharger would also help to overcome the turbo-lag). Lots of possibilities, afterall...
