I suspect that the author of that article either got information from a bad translation or perhaps he's just making a poor assumption.

With respect to ynguldyn, the four cylinder report contradicts Tada-san statement on a Supra needing to have a straight six, also A70TTR (insider who has worked on the project) did says some of the prototypes were fitted with the B48, but that was just for testing purpose and has been dropped for production.
I'm not sure, but Peter Lyon has been pretty creditable in the past.
