Interesting to note, GM has gone back to a model A type crank (180 degree) in their new Corvette engine. It took a lot of engineering to make it work but it really does.

Another interesting note, the new engine makes 670 hp naturally aspirated.

The Ford 427 7000 series side oiler engine of the 1960's made 646 hp. It was also a naturally aspirated factory production engine.

Not much gain for the millions of dollars invested.

For the complete story on the new engine, see the current issue of Engine Professional.

Lots of keen info that can be used to increase the gas mileage of a model A.
