Can anyone provide any additional information on this little known but important test ? Just curious how the engine performed since the initial development of the V-8 was plagued with problems and disappointments. Once the bugs were worked the Ford V-8 earned a major milestone in automotive history. Just hoping some of our Ford history buffs can tell us the rest of the story.

Is there any substantial evidence for this story, or could it be another 'urban legend'?
