datzenmike Posted February 10, 2021 Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 No, long before. Aluminum block, DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder, 4 bolt mains. Started life as a 12 cylinder to compete with RR Merlin engine but cut down to 8 and 1,100 cu in. Over 500 hp and over 1,000 ft lbs torque. This DOHC is from the '40s, there truly is, nothing new under the sun. 3 Quote Link to comment

The Ford GAA engine is an American all-aluminum 32-valve DOHC 60-degree liquid-cooled V8 internal combustion engine designed and produced by the Ford Motor Company before and during World War II. It features twin Stromberg NA-Y5-G carburetors,[2] dual magnetos and twin spark plugs making up a full dual ignition system,[2] and crossflow induction.[3] It displaces 1,100 cu in (18 l) and puts out well over 1,000 pound-feet (1,400 N⋅m) of torque from idle to 2,200 rpm. The factory-rated gross output was 500 hp (370 kW) at 2,600 rpm. 2 Quote Link to comment
goes2fast Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 And while we are talking about tank engines this is the one they used in the Patton tank. And proof I have seen it in person, 😉 4 Quote Link to comment
ratpatrol66 Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Not sure how many of you have seen 410 Sprint cars race let alone the inside of a 410 engine. This is a badass build! 6 Quote Link to comment
goes2fast Posted February 24, 2021 Report Share Posted February 24, 2021 Even better is watching the next video where they install it in the car and fire it for the first time. Incredible music from that engine! 1 Quote Link to comment
