Just like the Ford 60hp, it was still being built, and available in an automobile, as late as 1957, by then it was in a Simca, same deal, Ford gave the patterns and drawings to the foreign market. I put a lot of the 215's in Vegas, the V8 was 40 lbs lighter then the 4cyl, and much more Hp and reliability. Bob!

Thanks! After my post, I wondered if it might be a 215 BOP V8. That engine was used in Buick, Olds and Pontiac cars (Tempest). Olds had a turbocharged version.
