Very good video chock full of engineering tidbits and history of one of the biggest V8s ever built.

Thanks for the link. Very interesting. Something I hadn't heard of before. I'm almost 70 and learn something new all the time.

Another case where Henry Ford demonstrated what a jerk he was.

Ford really was borderline nuts I think ..of course folks thought Albert Einstein was messed up too...

Interesting video, thanks for posting. That was a pretty advanced engine design for the early 40s.

What an American thing to do:
Take the blue prints from an engine that powered some of the most elegant and successful planes of all time, and reverse engineer it into a tank engine that could be produced at a fraction of the cost.
