Re: What was
 

Assuming we're limiting it to combinations in the NHRA class guide:

1962 Buick/Olds 215 (Special, Jetfire...)

1969 Cadillac 472 (El Dorado, De Ville..)
* Side note - anybody want to build a Cadillac 75 Limousine with this engine? It fits O/SA at 5,795 lbs with a driver!

Re: What was
 

Dodge had a 8.4 Liter engine at one time ( 512 cu in ) in the Viper.

The Dodge Ram SRT-12 pick up trucks had those Viper engines but were 505 cu. inches ( 8.3 liter )

Re: What was
 

I seem to recall that Buick had a 215 cube V8 in the early 60s, for the Skylark. And although its not a North American, a guy I used to work with owns an early 60s British Daimlier SP250 2 seat sports car, which had a 2.5Liter (about 151 cubic inch) Hemi V8. Funky fiberglass body, with tail fins and a catfish looking nose,with wire wheels and 4 wheel disc brakes.

Rory, I pulled the pics this morning but too busy to post til now.

Daimler is the one. Slightly smaller than the 2.6 Toyota hemi ;-)

Re: What was
 

Ford had an 1100 cube V8, the GAA. I'm not sure if the Sherman tank is in the class guide but I suspect it may weigh more than that Caddy Limo unless you get wink, wink, nudge, nudge specifications like the late model cars.

Re: What was
 

534 Ford Super Duty truck engine. 4.5 inch bore x 4.2 inch stroke,, 266hp @ 3200,, 490lb/ft @ 1800-2300. 7.5:1 compression and governed at 3400rpm. Nothing like the 1100 cubic inch Ford GAA that was mentioned earlier and built for military use but still a whopper. Don Jackson

Re: What was
 

According to Wiki, Ford introduced a 136c.i. V-8 in 1937. 2.6 x 3.2 bore and stroke, 6.6:1 compression with 60h.p. and 94lb/ft. It was known as the 60 horse flathead. Don Jackson

Re: What was
 

I've never seen one in a Ford but my father owned one before my time, didn't have a high opinion of it. The V8-60 was used by Simca up into the 60's, years ago I had a neighbor who owned one.
