Re: Old Race Parts and Pieces
OK, this is an oddball engine and definitely not a race engine. Ford made some all aluminum V8 engines during WWII (The BIG ONE). The GA series engines started out as a V-12 (thus the 60 degree Vee) aircraft engine (explains the all-aluminum part), but the government already had enough aircraft engines (Allison and Packard built Merlins), but they needed a tank engine. They lobbed four cylinders off to make an all-aluminum V8 of 1100 CID. They had two puny carbs on it. I think it could use three Holleys for a bit more power.

Re: Old Race Parts and Pieces
The big 3 made a lot of experimental parts & pieces back in the late 50's through the early 70's...anyone else here remember any other weird stuff.
