My dad was always a GM man before the war, but when he came home in late1945, he bought Ford trucks because his tank had the Ford GAA (there were several other engines in the Sherman). He still was a Cadillac man for cars, but always bought Ford trucks exclusively for the family business.
@@destructoidx99 Well there is one glaring difference. Gross hp vs Net hp. We will have to speculate how much the 426 Hemi really made back in 1966. By 1971, it was 350 hp net, still a considerable number, but no 425hp as advertised. The lower-output 440 - 4V, which although rated at 335 gross hp, made only 220 net hp. Today, the Coyote 5.0L in the Dark Horse is 500 net hp, no turbo/SC, purrs like a kitten, doesn't need to be tuned up after sitting in grid lock all week, and mpg a '66 Beetle was lucky to get.

phillipstrait Chrysler came up with an abortion of 5 of their large flat head 6cylinder engines all connected to one crank for the sherman....30 cylinders and a SOB on maintainence, nobody liked it, the Ford V8 and the Contential 9 Cyl aircraft Radial were the 2 most used versions, the marines used a twin Gimmy 6/71 diesel.

Yep, the biggest, but the best ford engine comes from the southern hemisphere. An inline 6, of four litres called the Barra. Check it out all you petrol heads. Cheers
They are an impressively strong engine with tuners getting a thousand horsies out of them and I hear a few of them have turned up state side.@@wilburfinnigan2142
Only american engineering could manage to make an 18 liter v8 and somehow only get a pitiful 500hp out of it. Talk about bad performance ratio. Guzzles gas like a truck and puts out as much power, as my lawn mower.
@@alexdalton6215 German engines were notoriously more powerful and efficent, especially during both world wars, when revolutionary advancements have been made. America also still to this day produces the largest V8's with the smallest power output in comparison to European engines with the same displacement. It's not a bad take. It's not even a hot take. It's litteraly been like this, since you guys made chevy's and it's STILL like this today. I've seen V8's having 200 something horsepower. How do you get ONLY 200 out of a V8?!

@@delinquenterThe most popular v8 family used right mow is the LS platform. You can take a 5.3 litre and give it a better cam for it to make over 550hp easily.

@@delinquenterAt the drag strip, the fastest V8s there aren't German, they are all American made V8s. Top fuel Dragsters are making 10,000hp and higher outta 2 valve pushrod, hemi design.

RS-vu3df.. The GAA was developed as a V12 Aircraft engine by Henry Ford to compete with the RR Merlin he had been asked to build for the Brits but REFUSED and offered a simplier version, and the Allison V1710. all those engines were limited to 3,000 RPM because even geared down props tips break the sound barrier, get noisy and loose efficiency, why those large engines were turned slower. The GAA V8 tank engine was adopted from the V12 aircraft by loping off 4 cylinders, there was also a V12 version for later larger tanks. In war time you have to move quickly, you use what you have or can adapt in a hurry and that is why the GAA tank engine was DOHC 4 valves per cylinder and turned 2600 RPM. industrial and war machines are made to last, not develop a lot of screaming RPM's !!!

400hp in a production car for 1958 is pretty impressive

Thanks bro 😎
Bought my first super duty ford in 2020 with the 6.2 gas, one the best trucks I've ever owned.
Ford also had a 534 cubic inch big block V8 that they put in their f600-700 medium duty trucks ways back in the mid to late 60s
#3 @ 6:33.
It was in this video.
Dustin... come on wake up and pay attention it was covered @6:33 and number 3 !!!! DUUUUHHH!!!!!!!
514 and 572 over the counter engines. Missed the 477 (smaller version of the 534) and the CAN-AM Boss 494 (Big Cube racing Version of Boss 429).
We had Ford 534 cid V-8's in our F-800 fire engines. Huge Holly four barrel too. Good running engines also.
What was the 514 and 572 installed in? Were they crate motor only?
Those are both based off of 460 385 Series big block Fords.
Lots of them in medium duty and heavy duty trucks

I wonder if I can get that in my festiva
when americans name their engine after a japanese monster.. weird. it should have been Liberty or Eagle or Oil
Do y’all think that 18 litre could fit in my 67 ford galaxie? Or is it too big.
You missed the 494 Can Am Boss engine.
The king Ranch king Kong Ford
V8 monster engine
“Seven point zero”. Nobody says that.
LT-5 was one of them corvette btw
Sherman tank 19 liter but Allen Johnson pe
👍
I thought Ford made a 640 ci available through their Performance catalog ???
"this voice provided by someones AI. "
why do they call an american engine godzilla after a Japanese monster. The engine is all American icon and the call it a Japanese name.
because democrat or republican was to terrifying and the engines would never sell.
@@CrownOfGoldCompleatSacrifice_2hahahahaha what
7L isnt the big MEL engine when you get the 462 cui MEL
In Finland, the boss Mustang was introduced with a 10-liter engine in the 90s
Heads with a bore of whatever
Really
The block has the bore
Turned of at that point
Don't know what they are talking about 😮
Not sure but the the heads have a combustion chamber so you might want to bore😊 that out to make a larger combustion chamber.

That would lower compression ratio
