The Desota flat head 6 was either 236 or 250 Cu depending on year and the advertised horsepower was112 at 3800RPM or 116 at the 3600 rpm, the Ama horsepower for both was 28.4. The Dodge was230 CU rated at 103@3600 and AMA @ 25.4.The Chrysler 6 was 250cu,116@3500 and Ama 28.3. the 8 cylinder was 323cu, 135@3200 rpm and AMA rating 33.5. The Plymout was 217 cu, 97@3600 and AMA 25.4. This compairs to the Popular Ford 8 flat head of 239 cu and 100 @ 3600 RPM and the Ama rating was 32.5 and that compairs to what that engine would put out when put in the Funk v8 conversion in an 8N. These figures are directly from a Chiltons repair manual dated 1958. And I do know some of the tanks were powered with those Ford engines. The Lima, Ohio tank plant restored one of thse Ford powered tanks a few years ago. So some of those tractors used a Plymouth engine, Some a Dodge and some a Chrysler in both the 6 @ 8 cylinder models. Don't know if they ever put a Desota engine in any equipment or not. Think the trucks had larger engines but book only covers cars.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
