Default Re: v8 combine engine?

I read an article several years ago about industrial engines, can't recall the publication.
The article compared the various engine brands that were commonly used in forklifts, combines, compressors, boats, etc. It was very interesting that the vast majority of the industrial engines were Chrysler sixes.
This could lead a person to believe that Chrysler made an excellent engine. Not so, Chrysler would supply engines on a consignment basis, the engines did not have to be paid for until the finished machine was sold.. Good old thrifty Henry Ford demanded payment when the engines left the Ford factory..
Compressors are the one exception, one bank was the engine, the other bank was the compressor. I have an old Ford compressor engine, the compressor side is completely different from the engine side..
