If I didn't already have a personily autographed copy of your Dad's book, I would and still may get another copy just to have his eulogy written by you and your brother.

Re: V8-60 Fords Little Powerhouse
There is always that 1 guy LOL
Midget Racers, Hydroplane Racers and Small Cigar Box Boat builders will strongly disagree. To make 140hp and spin 7600rpm while tipping the scale at a whopping 200lbs.... Id say it fit a nitch well |

Re: V8-60 Fords Little Powerhouse
I owned 3 just to be clear. They may work in a 1000# car with a cam and speed equipment, but in a stock sedan or pickup they are the biggest slug. My 4 cylinder B can whip any of the ones I had.

Re: V8-60 Fords Little Powerhouse
The invention was originally "sound" in that it was a small, economical engine design intended for a "small, lightweight" vehicle for the European market.
The idea to use it in a full size and weight car in the USA was a flawed decision, and not the brightest idea in Fords lightbulb collection. Gotta love the little 60hp Flathead V-8 along with its bigger FH brothers!!! Built right, it will get you anywhere you need or want to go.

Re: V8-60 Fords Little Powerhouse
That V8-60 piston has LESS than 1/2 the AREA of the Model A piston........5.3 sq. in. vs 11.787 sq. in. It's no wonder the little "60" has so little "grunt"! DD

Re: V8-60 Fords Little Powerhouse
Funny thing is some owners must have felt this motor that came with my car was good enough to keep for 77 years. I can't believe it is still there and original. Maybe I won't win any races but it gets the car down the road anyway.
