The Hispano-Suiza 8 was a water-cooled V8 SOHC aero engine introduced by Hispano-Suiza in 1914 and was the most commonly used engine in the aircraft of the Entente Powers during the First World War. The original Hispano-Suiza 8A was rated at 140 hp (102 kW) and the later Hispano-Suiza 8F reached 300 hp (220 kW).

A total of 49,800 HS-8 engines and variants under different names were built in twenty-one plants in Spain, France, Britain, Italy, and the U.S. ...

I re-drew up a set of plans for a Thomas Morse Scout for the magazine WW1 Aero Ace. They were used in the film Wings and were modified to look like French Spads. That is the aircraft engine because it has the tapered crank case. The automobile engines would not have such a deep pan.

This would make a great start, with spare parts, for a "Half a Hisso" powered period race car. Check here: http://winfield.50megs.com/HissoEngine.htm
