@SamDamewood Well, thats not what you said.. you said; "WWII Sherman did not use that engine" They built over 12,500 GAA powered M4A3 Shermans alone not including thousands of GAA powered variants... hardly a sideshow. The invasion of France didn't even start till June 44'
@SamDamewood Thats not true, Ford GAA powered M4 tanks went into service during WW2 in 1944, it was used in M4A3 models including 'W', 'E2','E8' and many M4 variants most notably the M-36 Jackson. The Chrysler 20cyl. Multi-bank was also used in many M4 variants during the war including the M4 "Firefly"
@mikermhh Rules I think...pushrod, V-8, 2 valve, 5.8 liter...outside of that, they have nothing resembling a 'stock' car engine...as we know it. Like the 'Harley' (code for) drag race motors...V-2, aircooled, pushrod, 2 valve.
1945 WWII. 525hp 2800rpm could rev to 3800rpm for more power before valve float. This engine started out as a two-stage two-speed supercharged 27 litre, 1650ci 1500 hp-class V-12 aircraft engine. It was modified to V8 by removing the rear four cylinders. The aircraft engine was designed to out perform the Rolls-Royce Merlin V-12's in the P-51 Mustangs. Ford couldnt get the contract so the engine was shelfed until the Army approched them with a need for a V8 Tank engine.
@toyzruskid62 Depends on the year and model, they used like a half dozen different engines in the Sherman. The Air-cooled Continental radial was the most common early on.. later it was replaced by this Ford GAA engine also originally developed for aircraft use.

@kamphwagon1 And? The pendulum between armor and armor-defeating technologies is continually swinging. The 'old' Kontakt-5 is still what the Russians use on their MBT, and the M829A2/A3 rounds are capable of defeating it. As yet the Russians haven't demonstrated a capability to penetrate the frontal arc of ANY Western MBT with either gun or missile.
@kamphwagon1 Dude, you really don't know what you are talking about. The T-series Soviet/Russian tanks were thoroughly outclassed by the Leopards, Challengers, and Abrams in the 1970s. They still are.
As far as the Abrams using a German gun, so what? The Germans benefited mightily from the MBT-70 program, which was primarily an American project. All of the neat little widgets that make that cannon hit at ungodly ranges aren't German-developed.
And no, the Maybach wasn't reliable even in the IV
Correction, the Maybach motor wasn't reliable in the Panzerkampfwagen V. The transmissions in the Panthers were also really weak, resulting in stripped gears when operated at the 'advertised' speeds of the Panther.
@Redmanfms The MBT-70 was designed and built by Krauss-Maffei in Germany, M1 Abrams and Leopard 2 don't just share the same German designed gun... they both share the same modified MBT-70 chassis. There is even a test study to replace the M1's gas turbine with the 1,500hp Maybach from the Leopard 2
@Dettengines I've seen more than a few Ford 300c.i. sixes go for 500,000 miles. I've seen some Y-blocks and FEs that had approaching a half-million in heavy applications (1-tons and school buses).

Oddly enough most every picture you see of a German Panther The week spot on Tiger and Panther tanks was the rear end and all had Maybach gas engines
@MrTubbymarshall this engine was alot more reliable then the maybach, my grandfather was a mechanic on the shermans and all tracked vehicles during ww2. He said when they started using these engines instead of the radial engines, it made the sherman the fastest most reliable tank in europe,even the world at the time, and since it ran on gasoline, it didnt have all the problems a diesel has to worry about like cold temps' and dirty fuel, and the fuel injection was very simple.
@cobra96svt570 actually the MOST reliable engine was the Chrysler adaption of 5 flathead sixes all tied together. Less trouble, less fuel, easier to start, and lasted longer. It's size and various features make this engine a novelty but the proven old flathead had it where it counted.
this is were and why the 96-04 mustang cobras got there 4.6 dohc modualr design, and why they can make 400hp out of a small 281ci engine. The DOHC in a v-8 and especially being aluminum is my opion the best designed motor ever. Ford knows there stuff when it comes to OHC, thats were the japs got there v-tec dohc from. From this engine made by ford motor co. USA!
FOR ANYONE WHO LOVES FORD V-8 DOHC, GIVE A THUMBS UP!!!
@cobra96svt570 1100 Cubes, what a monstor! Historians state that they could get only 500 hp out of it. Is that True? Today you could probably get over 1000 out of it.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@koffiejuffrouw I thought about that one time, just who has the most HP/L between the United States, Japan, and Europe right now?
If you take a look at the most powerful production supercar from each group which I believe are the Bugatti Veyron (Europe) the Nissan GTR (Japan) and the SSC Ultimate Aero (USA) surprisingly it's the American Aero that has the highest HP/L out of the 3. And on top of that it's a 2 valve/cylinder pushrod engine, it's not even DOHC 4 valve/cyl like the other two are!
@177SCmaro i'm glad to see you are taking this seriously instead of just shouting AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!! like some of your fellow countrymen. however, i'm not sure Bugatti Veyron has the best ratio of the european cars, nor does the GTR of Japan. I think you'd better look at cars like the koenigsegg or the zenvo for Europe, and something like a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo or an Impreza for Japan. nevertheless, Ultimate Aero souds like a very good car, especially with those specifications.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@koffiejuffrouw Well I was just talking about the MOST powerful car from each of the three. But you seem to know those cars you named more than I. Why didn't you just provide their HP numbers and displacement so we can compare their HP/L? I'd happy consider them.
The Aero displaces 6.3L and has 1287bhp according the SSC's site. That's about 204.3 bhp/L. I'm curious if any other manufacture has a production engine out there that's higher?
@177SCmaro i agree that 204.3 bhp/L sounds like a helluva lot, and I'm starting to believe we have a winner here. to be honest, I don't know the bhp and displacement of the cars I just mentioned. Once I get around to looking up those specs, I'll let you know.
@koffiejuffrouw In the interest of a fair comparison, only normally aspirated engines should be compared in Hp per liter/cu.in. unless the relative boost pressure of a turbo/supercharged engine is taken into consideration aswell, for example, 15psi (1Bar) on average will double an engines volumetric efficiency The Ferrari 458 is the highest (normally aspirated) hp per liter @125hp/lt. then compare that to a mid 1980s FormulaOne race engine at 1000hp per liter turbocharged!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@koffiejuffrouw Just an update to the message I sent you about a hour ago.
Out of curiosity I looked up the cars you named. The one that comes close to the Aero's 204HP/L is the Koenigsegg Agera R. It has a 5L DOHC V8 making 900HP on 98 octane gas which comes out to 180HP/L compared with the Aeros 1287 on 91 octane gas. However, on alcohol (E85) the Agera R makes 1115HP, which is 223HP/L. Now, is it a fair comparison since its using alcohol? Maybe not but it does beat the Aero's HP/L.

@doktorbimmer lol you know there is no truly fair comparisons. But why limit it to NA engines? Seems kinda arbitrary, if I were to fallow your logic here I say why not, for the sake of fairness, limit throttle diameter, or exhaust size, or number of cylinders?
Someone on this page implied American engines don't have as high a HP/L as Japanese or European engines. So I just asked a simple question, what production car has the highest HP/L?
It seems to be the Aero, (on gas) an American car.
@177SCmaro No, not at all. just that its not posible to fairly compare hp/L of N/A engine to a supercharged one. I'm not saying Japan or Germany makes better engines than America either.. just that calling the Aero with only 5 units per year a production car is highly questionable and the next runner up the Konigsegg also a chevy based turbo V-8 but it doesn't even run on the same fuel type so you can't even compare boost pressure vs. displacement between the two.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@doktorbimmer Were did I compare a NA engine to a supercharged one? I don't think you've understood the point of my comment even after I just explained it. Read the last half of my last comment again.
The Aero is produced by SSC. SSC is a very small company with a comparatively low number of cars produced, however, the Aero is still a production car and must meet the same standards to be street legal as any other car. To exclude it based solely on it's production number would be short-sighted.
@177SCmaro You didn't. thats sort of my point. Only short sighted not mention if they were normally aspirated or not, at least the other fellow noted a differance the fuel type of the runner up. and why just production cars? that seems even more arbitrary? its just that it appeared your point was american engines were just as good right? then why to latch on to the most extreme example? The original topic was Hp/L of engines in general was it not? not production cars.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@doktorbimmer The original post was about a "96-04 mustang cobras got there 4.6 dohc modualr design, and why they can make 400hp out of a small 281ci engine"
That's a production street engine.
Someone else replied: "if 400 hp being pushed out of a 4.6 liter engine is efficient to you, you probably havent seen what europeans or japanese accomplish"
So I asked who has the highest HP/L out of all the American, European, and Japaneses production engines. The answer seems to be America and the Aero.
@177SCmaro The Cobra engine is supercharged as well making its Hp/L output only relative to its boost pressure and supercharger efficiency, the Ford is in fact a "real" production engine with the modular engine in production for like 13 years andtens if not hundreds of thousands built... making a comparison to the Aero with its 5 units (expected to be built) even more ridiculous. In fact, I highly doubt that the Aero would qualify as a production car at all.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@doktorbimmer Normally I don't mind repeating myself but this is starting to get annoying. First of all I never compared the mustang to the Aero I JUST ASKED WHAT CAR, out of all production cars in Europe, Japan, and the USA, HAS THE HIGHEST HP/L. As far as I can tell it's the Aero. Unless you count cars running on E85, then its the Agera R.
Whether you like it or not the Aero is a production car and must meet all the same standards any street legal car must meet regardless of how many are sold.
@177SCmaro No, this was the original comment,,Koffiejuffouw wrote in response to Cobra96svt570 "if 400 hp being pushed out of a 4.6 liter engine is efficient to you, you probably havent seen what europeans or japanese accomplish." No, they do not meet the same regulations as a car (like a Mustang) you would buy in a dealer showroom. And yes, you do seem to be repeating yourself a little bit :)
@cobra96svt570 I'll give credit to Ford big time for those Modular series motors. Take a good condition 4.6 or 5.4 and stroke it plus big cams, they just get meaner and meaner yet so small and light.
@MrTubbymarshall - Keep your maybach, if you could understand the technology of this engine for its time, you'd appreciate it more. Alll aluminum, DOHC, 32 valve v-8 making 1050lbs of torque, and a steady 500hp?! thats just insanse for being designed in the 40's. This engine inspired what all the mustang cobras are/were using in the 90's till now, even in the 60's ford was making the 426ci-427ci, both OHC designs. Were do you think the jaap's got there DOHC v-tec engine desgins from?THIS MOTOR!
@cobra96svt570 The only thing wrong with the Maybach was it was overloaded in the Tiger tank and it produced over 700 hp , in the Panther it was just as relieable as fords engine as for the speed I doubt the Sherman had any speed advantage over the Panther , with the shermans weak armor puney main gun + gasolie made it a rolling crematorim when faceing off with German tanks in the Panther class or larger, the sherams only able to defeat panzers trough superior numbers, never one on one.........
@cobra96svt570 actually the japs and yanks got it from the germans....mercedes benz had DOHC multivalve engines in the 20's....infact the germans pretty much pioneered and perfected the internal combustion engine from the word go....honda was the first japanese car manufacturer to design a DOHC head in the 50's..the s500
@hotrod4you2 shermans were built with both, the radial aircraft engine was more common because it was easier to produce. the v8s made up a small precentage of shermans.

@cobra96svt570 actually the MOST reliable engine was the Chrysler adaption of 5 flathead sixes all tied together. Less trouble, less fuel, easier to start, and lasted longer. It's size and various features make this engine a novelty but the proven old flathead had it where it counted.

@cobra96svt570 Yes, the fuel injection on the Sherman was very simple... there was none, all versions of the Sherman used carburators.

this is were and why the 96-04 mustang cobras got there 4.6 dohc modualr design, and why they can make 400hp out of a small 281ci engine. The DOHC in a v-8 and especially being aluminum is my opion the best designed motor ever. Ford knows there stuff when it comes to OHC, thats were the japs got there v-tec dohc from. From this engine made by ford motor co. USA!
FOR ANYONE WHO LOVES FORD V-8 DOHC, GIVE A THUMBS UP!!!

@cobra96svt570 1100 Cubes, what a monstor! Historians state that they could get only 500 hp out of it. Is that True? Today you could probably get over 1000 out of it.

@koffiejuffrouw I thought about that one time, just who has the most HP/L between the United States, Japan, and Europe right now?
If you take a look at the most powerful production supercar from each group which I believe are the Bugatti Veyron (Europe) the Nissan GTR (Japan) and the SSC Ultimate Aero (USA) surprisingly it's the American Aero that has the highest HP/L out of the 3. And on top of that it's a 2 valve/cylinder pushrod engine, it's not even DOHC 4 valve/cyl like the other two are!

@177SCmaro i'm glad to see you are taking this seriously instead of just shouting AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!! like some of your fellow countrymen. however, i'm not sure Bugatti Veyron has the best ratio of the european cars, nor does the GTR of Japan. I think you'd better look at cars like the koenigsegg or the zenvo for Europe, and something like a Mitsubishi Lancer Evo or an Impreza for Japan. nevertheless, Ultimate Aero souds like a very good car, especially with those specifications.

@koffiejuffrouw Well I was just talking about the MOST powerful car from each of the three. But you seem to know those cars you named more than I. Why didn't you just provide their HP numbers and displacement so we can compare their HP/L? I'd happy consider them.
The Aero displaces 6.3L and has 1287bhp according the SSC's site. That's about 204.3 bhp/L. I'm curious if any other manufacture has a production engine out there that's higher?
Oh, and AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!! (kidding!)
177SCmaro 4 months ago
@177SCmaro i agree that 204.3 bhp/L sounds like a helluva lot, and I'm starting to believe we have a winner here. to be honest, I don't know the bhp and displacement of the cars I just mentioned. Once I get around to looking up those specs, I'll let you know.

@koffiejuffrouw In the interest of a fair comparison, only normally aspirated engines should be compared in Hp per liter/cu.in. unless the relative boost pressure of a turbo/supercharged engine is taken into consideration aswell, for example, 15psi (1Bar) on average will double an engines volumetric efficiency The Ferrari 458 is the highest (normally aspirated) hp per liter @125hp/lt. then compare that to a mid 1980s FormulaOne race engine at 1000hp per liter turbocharged!

@koffiejuffrouw Just an update to the message I sent you about a hour ago.
Out of curiosity I looked up the cars you named. The one that comes close to the Aero's 204HP/L is the Koenigsegg Agera R. It has a 5L DOHC V8 making 900HP on 98 octane gas which comes out to 180HP/L compared with the Aeros 1287 on 91 octane gas. However, on alcohol (E85) the Agera R makes 1115HP, which is 223HP/L. Now, is it a fair comparison since its using alcohol? Maybe not but it does beat the Aero's HP/L.

@doktorbimmer lol you know there is no truly fair comparisons. But why limit it to NA engines? Seems kinda arbitrary, if I were to fallow your logic here I say why not, for the sake of fairness, limit throttle diameter, or exhaust size, or number of cylinders?
Someone on this page implied American engines don't have as high a HP/L as Japanese or European engines. So I just asked a simple question, what production car has the highest HP/L?
It seems to be the Aero, (on gas) an American car.
177SCmaro 4 months ago
@177SCmaro No, not at all. just that its not posible to fairly compare hp/L of N/A engine to a supercharged one. I'm not saying Japan or Germany makes better engines than America either.. just that calling the Aero with only 5 units per year a production car is highly questionable and the next runner up the Konigsegg also a chevy based turbo V-8 but it doesn't even run on the same fuel type so you can't even compare boost pressure vs. displacement between the two.

@doktorbimmer Were did I compare a NA engine to a supercharged one? I don't think you've understood the point of my comment even after I just explained it. Read the last half of my last comment again.
The Aero is produced by SSC. SSC is a very small company with a comparatively low number of cars produced, however, the Aero is still a production car and must meet the same standards to be street legal as any other car. To exclude it based solely on it's production number would be short-sighted.
177SCmaro 4 months ago
@177SCmaro You didn't. thats sort of my point. Only short sighted not mention if they were normally aspirated or not, at least the other fellow noted a differance the fuel type of the runner up. and why just production cars? that seems even more arbitrary? its just that it appeared your point was american engines were just as good right? then why to latch on to the most extreme example? The original topic was Hp/L of engines in general was it not? not production cars.

@doktorbimmer The original post was about a "96-04 mustang cobras got there 4.6 dohc modualr design, and why they can make 400hp out of a small 281ci engine"
That's a production street engine.
Someone else replied: "if 400 hp being pushed out of a 4.6 liter engine is efficient to you, you probably havent seen what europeans or japanese accomplish"
So I asked who has the highest HP/L out of all the American, European, and Japaneses production engines. The answer seems to be America and the Aero.
177SCmaro 4 months ago
@177SCmaro The Cobra engine is supercharged as well making its Hp/L output only relative to its boost pressure and supercharger efficiency, the Ford is in fact a "real" production engine with the modular engine in production for like 13 years andtens if not hundreds of thousands built... making a comparison to the Aero with its 5 units (expected to be built) even more ridiculous. In fact, I highly doubt that the Aero would qualify as a production car at all.

@doktorbimmer Normally I don't mind repeating myself but this is starting to get annoying. First of all I never compared the mustang to the Aero I JUST ASKED WHAT CAR, out of all production cars in Europe, Japan, and the USA, HAS THE HIGHEST HP/L. As far as I can tell it's the Aero. Unless you count cars running on E85, then its the Agera R.
Whether you like it or not the Aero is a production car and must meet all the same standards any street legal car must meet regardless of how many are sold.

@cobra96svt570 The only thing wrong with the Maybach was it was overloaded in the Tiger tank and it produced over 700 hp , in the Panther it was just as relieable as fords engine as for the speed I doubt the Sherman had any speed advantage over the Panther , with the shermans weak armor puney main gun + gasolie made it a rolling crematorim when faceing off with German tanks in the Panther class or larger, the sherams only able to defeat panzers trough superior numbers, never one on one.........

@bonsema1 The M5A1 Stuart used the twin Cadillacs. Shermans used many different engines. Each model had a different one. The M4 ( welded hull ) and M4A1 ( cast hull ) were mechanically identical with the radial engine. The M4A2 used twin GMC diesels. The M4A3 used the Ford V8 shown. The
