I'm guessing 70 HP at 2200 RPM and 180 ft/lb at 1,000 RPM...

Maybe they should have hired him. Ford once experimented with a X-8 engine. It was deemed impractical for a road going car. A number of aircraft had "inverted" engines, with the crankshaft on top and the cylinders underneath.

I’ve seen what I believe to be some pretty talented foundry men on this forum before. Any takers?

There have been a few discussions about that engine here over the years. It seems like one of our vendors has it or one like it in his showroom.
This has further information that might be interesting.
http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/25 ... 1352364356
Ed comments: It was a Gentry V8, made circa 1917.
http://www.mtfca.com/discus/messages/41 ... 1413359031
It also was featured in the MTFCA "Vintage Ford" many years ago.
It's fun to see again and many new comers haven't seen it.
Thanks
Rich
When did I do that?

You can acquire my T 5 main block patterns. They could be a good starting point. Certainly a bunch of the cores could be utilized. NO I am not going to take the project on!

Going with “fork and blade” connecting rods could be advantageous as then the cylinders line up exactly. Just a thought. This could also potentially allow the use of a stock 4 cylinder T camshaft. Just some thoughts
