Meer over het boek

"Although not the first V-8 engine ever produced, Henry Ford's side-valve V-8, introduced in 1932, certainly qualified as the first mass-produced V-8 sold to the public. Because of Henry Ford's stubbornness, the first versions were less than ideal. The technology was in its infancy and cost-cutting measures limited the output and reliability of the early models. Over time, however, the "Flattie" became the go-to powerplant for a whole new generation of hobbyists called "hot-rodders." The engine maintained its position in the hobby well into the 1950s, even when more modern overhead-valve designs came out of Detroit. It's hard to overstate the impact that this simple little engine had. Even today, people choose a flatbed for period-correct builds over far more powerful options."--Back cover
