-Some versions of the Ford were:

-A V-8 with 289 cu. in.of displacement giving 225 hp.

-The 302 cu. in. engine giving 235 hp. The one with 351 cu. in. gave 350 hp.

-The 360 hp had 400 cu. in. of displacement and the one with 460 cu. in. gave 450 hp normally aspirated, reaching 600 hp if it was supercharged.
