    Perfectly appropriate, it is a Ford GAA engine, DOHC, hemi, originally designed as a V12 aircraft engine, all aluminum, four cylinders deleted and used for the Sherman tank beginning around late 1943. Have seen two ratings, 400 and 500 bhp at 2600 rpm.

    You can spend all the MONEY you want on a Ford, but in the end, IT'S STILL JUST A FORD! Not impressed.

    wow. looks like hes got great f/r weight distribution what with all that massive motor behind the front suspension. lol. whats the weight on that anyway, atleast how much more or less than a iron block 460 v8 is it? I would love to see a video of this. just add some equal length manifolds and f.i. and put two industrial size turbos on it(youll need it to make it rev past 3000, you know, to 3500 or 4000), then lemme drive it so i can die happily of a heart attack

    May, I point out that this thing peaks horsepower and torque at such a low engine speed that makes it useless in a drag race, cause the best time that it would make is that of a modern stock F-body. Ford/Chevy/Mopar. I am now sure that there are other uses that the engine could be used for, such as generators, welders, aircraft, or tanks. Hey, wait a minute they already use them for those purposes.

    Hey, may I point out that the engine peaks at such a low rpm, that it is completely useless in a mustang for running on the streets. The only way it would be useful is if you could get the thing to peak at higher rpms. That of course would require a different, but hand fabbed manifold, custom ground cams, and some head work. Right now as it sits, if you did try to use it as a drag motor, then your time would probably be around 13 to 20 seconds in the quarter. That is comparable to a modern car that is stock. That is why they are used in agriculture stuff, such as generators. One could even use it for what it was intended purpose was, and that is an aircraft engine.
