Pneumatic starter. 750 psi main tank to a distributor and air lines to each cylinder with check valves. The distributor sends air after TDC to spin the engine for start.
True. This engine is fairly small actually at 10Liters (~620 cubic inches). 400hp at 2950rpm, geared down to about 2000 at the prop output shaft. Supercharger spins about 20000rpm and makes just a few psi of boost which is very helpful in mixture distribution. Very strong and reliable engines.
Considering that the tech is 50+ yrs old, the engine is somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 L, and it makes 1n excess of 2500HP at less than 2000 RPM, it might sound just a bit different from the tuned Hondas, you're used to.
