History Ford 1100 ci tank engine

I have been reading about the ford 1100 ci all alluminum v8 used during ww2. I cant find any reference to the heads, they appear from the covers to be hemi configuration?

 

Been covered here quite well. Ford GAA. DOHC 4 valve per cylinder, pentroof type heads.

 

I can only dream

same motor, correct? sherman tank?

 

if I could even get my hands on ONE of those heads! can you imagine having a 550cubic inch banger motor!

 

Yes it's a Sherman Tank motor. The head pictured was NOS. I bought it for $250 on EBay about 8 years ago.

 

tell my you haven't thought about making a banger with it

 

I think about to much stuff. In a flash of clear thought I sold my three GAAs last year.

 

odd engines are the best engines...... hope you were able to buy something just as cool with the cash

 

a guy put one in a mustang, the post was closed.

 

I could only imagine how cool it would be to put one in a dragster, RichFox how rare are these engines. I could see some idot scraping one for the alluminum
