Default V6 60HP engine sitting beside a V8 85 HP engine

Does anyone have a good picture of a 60HP V8 engine sitting beside an 85HP V8 engine for comparison purposes.i'VE SEARCHED THE WEB AND CAN'T FIND ONE. I know there is a striking bit of differences in the size of the two engines, but I'd love to see a picture of the two, on stands, side by side, even if it took a little photoshopping to do it. I'd love to have such a picture as wallpaper on my computer screen or on the wall on my man cave as small as it is. Restored and complete engines would be awesome. I hope someone can make this happen for real to satisfy the musings of a 90 year old man who has loved and restored old Fords for most of his adult life, and is presently the oldest member of the Fordbarn. What say you guys. Hint, my 90th birthday is coming up on 12/27/21. Lawson Cox [email] [email protected] ,[Home phone] 770 784 0507.

You say you're old... You know what's good about being old? You get to chuckle about outliving most of your enemies, and you forgot about the rest of them!

There is a 12 cylinder as well.

These are the engines that came from the
Edward Towe Auction many years ago -
they are somewhat famous.

if him explaining that in detail about the engines on

Lawson, Regarding Ford V8 60: A little off topic, however, I thought you might be interested in a pix of a '40 Ford V8 60 in a former friend of mines '48 MG TC sports car. my friend bought the car new, did a lot of professional racing with the car, could not keep the MG engine together so he upgraded it with well built V8 60.

Now that's really some plumbing job, don't you agree.

AWESOME. Just what I was looking for. I never made it to the Towe Museum but I have been to the EFV8 museum in Auburn several times. It now seems I remember seeing those three engines there. Awesome video.

Thanks Jim. Barners always come through with flying colors.
