Default Re: Who designed he Model T engine

At the Piquettte Ave plant museum they have all the alphabet cars and also the workshop where the T was developed. There is an interesting prototype T engine that is basically a NRS engine turned backwards to put the flywheel where we now think of it as the right place. Also this was brought about by Henry wanting the left hand drive as the the earlier cars were right hand and the manifolding and carb were on the other side. Very interesting. They also developed the removable head and one piece block crankcase there at this time.
