An All-Aluminum, Flat-Plane Crank, DOHC V8 in 1940! Ford's 1,100ci (18L) GAA V8 Is a WWII Marvel
- Thread starter GURPS
- Start date
I think the last batch came from Brazil or Israel
I worked with a guy building one for a project ... imputing all the Details in Desktop Dyno 2003
The Engine is underfed by the induction system, adding the biggest Turbo in the Simulator and the Engine really wakes up, but 2000 Ft Lbs of Torque is unusable on the street .... apparently someone ran the GAA if a boat for a bunch of years

I wanted to put one or two in a boat also.
The Ford Super Duty 534 twin-turbo V-8 engines in our Hatteras are another good example of the very high output you can get by supercharging a heavy-duty engine that was originally naturally aspirated. These were about 270HP and 450 ft-lbs in stock form....450HP and 670 Ft-lbs when trimmed like the ones we have....below..
