sulla Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I found a new ford engine I did not know about I thought you guys might like to drool over. "Just thought I'd share some before and after pictures of my Ford GAA tank engine. All aluminum 1100 cubic inch V8 used in WWII Sherman Tanks. These were gas burners rated at 500 HP and 1050 Ft. Lbs. of torque for military service, but are capable of much much more using mostly stock parts. They feature a 60 degree vee, 5.4 bore x 6.0 stroke, 180 degree factory billet cranks, pent roof combustion chambers, shaft driven DOHC's, 4 valves per cylinder, and dual mags. They are pretty high tech. engines, especially considering they were built in the early 40's.

Guest Mike Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I think you'll have to build the Z around that monster. That'll make servicing the engine a bit tricky though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueovalz Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Tim the Toolman Taylor "AROOO" So redline is probably in the mid 2000s, so what kind of rear end ratio would one use. Perhaps a 2.1 to 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mike Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 There seems to be a point of diminishing returns regarding size/weight of engines in a light-weight cars. However... in a monster truck... HELLO!!! DOC... You need one of these for your '33!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
