The Ford Barn - View Single Post - early ford development water cooled vs air cooled

Ford made a lot of air cooled engines during the early years for various applications but most never went into production. Ford also made a lot of air cooled Pratt & Whitney aircraft engines during the war under licence.

They put a lot of time into the X8 project before Henry finally threw in the towel on it. The V8 was a lot more practical.
