In 1970 the very big-engined cars weren't allowed enter Le Mans and WC, 917 used 4.5 and 5 liter(s) engines, the last being just the limit for prototypes...

Well... IMO the person who wrote that so called piece of news intended to say that Porsche won the 1970 edition of LM using the (slightly) smaller 4.5L opposed to bigger and less reliable 4.9L engine...
Any relation with the alleged normally aspired, low capacity engine... just non sense
