Yes that engine is a design from Dino himself (and Jano).
But it sounded strange to call an engine a lampredi engine when he didnt design it and only adapted it to a less powerful spec, certainly in regard to that he did design multiple engines. When people talk about the 'Lampredi engine' they usually refer to his twincam I4 that was used over 30 years.

Its like talking about a busso and referring to a 50's F1 v12 engine. (and bringing up Busso: what an engine, probably the most beautiful v6 to look at from the modern era! Sounds really good too)
