Ettore Bugatti bought a front-drive, supercharged Miller racing car from 
Leon Duray in 1929 after changes in the Indianapolis rules made it 
obsolete. He copied the valve gear so closely that the top end of a type 
35 Bugatti will directly interchange with the Miller.
 And, when in the 1960s Ford built their four-cam V-8 racing engine, the 
valve lifters (cup-type) and the valves directly interchanged from the 
Offenhauser engine, a descendant of the Miller. (I bought a couple of 
dozen of the valve cups from the A.J. Foyt auction  when Foyt, who had 
bought the Ford engine design, parts, etc. from Ford, cleaned out his 
garage. I have eight of them in my Offy engine right now.)
