Very simple answer Ford could not continue on something they never tried. The ARDUN conversion was designed in 1947 by George Kudash who was employed by the ARDUN Engine Co.
However there was no need to even consider the ARDUN conversion due to the fact the larger Lincoln Flathead solved the problem of more power and torque needed in the larger Ford trucks being built at the time.
