Technically Speaking Volume 7 page 11 article by Ed Francis and George DeAngelis.

Engines assembled between July 9, 1928 and October 2, 1928. Total of 1353 Experimental engines. During the same period 247,400 other engines of "normal" oil tube configuration were built.

Per the article:

"We suspect that this was an experimental project and the engines were installed on fleet sales vehicles for testing, as Ford sometimes did. After a period of time it was determined that these engines did not meet some unknown requirement and the whole program was scrapped."

Interesting...
