George Marsh said: (quoted from post at 07:57:49 08/09/14) I could be wrong about chrysler, but is it really that important? I was a kid, thought it was a chrysler flat head. The pump had to date back to the 50's if not later. It was a flat head v8 of some kind. I think we had an old ford dump truck with a flat head v8. Dad in his later years had the engine rebuilt, very proud of it.
My major point remaind, propane was a pain to start, very clean burning, and no one could steal it like gas.
I guess that if we wish to delve into the minutia, it could have been a flat head Chrysler V8, as the last year the Ford flattie was made, it was made by "Chrysler do Brasil!" :wink:
The little v-60 was replaced by the 226 straight-6 in the 1941 Fords, though it would continue to be used after the war in the French Ford Vedette.
The engine was also installed in the SIMCA Vedette beginning in 1955.
