Sorry Colin, I just saw that post of yours. I don't know what a Winstone engine is but it definitely is not one.
I might have to think up another clue that won't totally give it away

That's OK
it's an engine that GM came up with in the late 30s but I googled it, wouldn't know one if it ran up to me and barked

Last clue and then I give up:
Picture 1) My truck which came standard with the engine in question. The larger version of the 'engine' was available as an option.
Picture 2) The sports car that came with the larger engine modified with triple carbs.
Some one's got to get it this time!!!

Blue Flame Straight Six?

Almost there Jan!
The Blue flame 235 engine is the one in the 1953 to 1955 Corvette. Yes Terry it's a Corvette'! The engine in question is the for-runner of the 235 and was the standard engine for my 1950 chevy pickup.

Stove Bolt? Thrift King?

Close enough Jan! Chevy 216 Thriftmaster. Also nicknamed the Stovebolt after the bolts that held on the cover for the lifters.
Very simple engine. I burned out the bearings in mine a year after I bought the truck. The only mechanical work I had done before that was changing oil, but I managed to pull it, take it apart, and put it back together again and it actually started right up!!

That's the truth, even 20 years ago. I attempted to change the spark plugs on my wifes 86 Pontiac about 15 years ago and could only get to 4 of the six plugs! and it has only gotten worse. Now you open up the hood and can't even see the engine!
