01
Artifact Overview
Ford Motor Company brought eight-cylinder power to the masses when it introduced its flathead V-8 engine in 1932. The crankcase and cylinder banks were cast as a single unit, reducing manufacturing cost and sale price on the finished car. Ford's enduring engine remained in production, with modifications, until 1953. This drawing was made near the end of its run.
