115-h.p. I-block SIX
Like the new Y-block V-8, this engine has
Ford’s deep-block design for greater ri-
gidity, longer engine life. Also, like the
V-S, you get Ford’s modem manifolding,
low-friction design, high-turbulence com-
bustion chambers, and Ford’s Automatic
Power Pilot. One advantage of both new
engines is an amazingly flat torque curve
which gives you top pick-up power
through the whole range of driving speeds.
They’re the Industry’s most modern engines with
free-turning Overhead Valve* and integral valve guide* ...
high-compression, low-friction design •. . and extra deep-
skirted crankcases. Both engine* are designed for^'
long life with smooth, economical performance. f
THE NEW
130-h.p. Y-block V-8
This new Overhead-Valve V-8 has an extra-
deep block which resembles a “Y” in cross-
section. This new deep-block design means
greater rigidity for smoother, quieter per-
formance ... longer engine life. Other features
which make this engine a long-lived, smooth,
savingful performer are: new low-friction
(short-stroke) design, Free-Turning Overhead
Valves, new 5-bearing crankshaft, and new
high-turbulence combustion chambers.
