That appears to be a V8 with a regular crossplane crank, but with the proper cylinder combination (a mixture of both cylinder banks) at the collector. That's usually not done because it's a bitch to package, but it makes more power.
It really does, yeah. That's because it sounds much more like a flat plane crank engine. That header design almost turns a crossplane crank V8 into a flatplane crank V8 because of the cylinder combination at the collector.
