The reasons are
worth knowing

We have told you how the 8-cylinder motor made its entry
Into the low-price field, ..
But an "8" is not the whole story. There are two varieties of the "8".
We have chosen the V-8 -a motor with two banks of cylinders set at an angle opposite each other, instead of all eight cylinders in a line. There are good reasons for this.
When wo tako 8 cylinders and get them four on a sido, the length of the motor is reduced about half; it becomes a sturdy and compact power plant. The V-8 motor is 4 cylinders long; if the cylinders were set in line the motor would be 8 cylinders long. This would sacrifice compactness,
One simple advantage of the V-type is that it gives more room in the body of your car! In the medium-size car that is built for economical operation this is important. And it accounts for the generous interior body room of the now Ford V-8.
Another advantage concerns the motor itself.
The V-8 type of motor, with
its two short banks of cylinders, cuts in half the distance which the gas mixture must travel to the end cylinders. This gives a more uniform distribution to each cylinder and makes a smoother 'running.motor. Also, two water pumps and two streams of water cool the cylinders instead of one stream. This means more uniform cooling.
Other points of advantage I reserve, for another letter. To mention one:- When we seemed to be slow in introducing the new Ford V-8 the delay was caused by our doing a very important thing in the interest of strength, long service and officiency.
Wo were perfecting the V-8 cylinder block as a one-pieco casting.
As a result our oylinder block is not made of two or three castings bolted together. It is one compact whole, which permanently keeps the operating parts in perfect alignment. We cannot expect the general reader to appreciate the difficulties we had to overcome before this could be done. But if you over have a chance to see our cylinder block casting before it goes into an engine, you will marvel that it could be done at all.
We are the only manufacturers now doing it this more expensive way Our new car is making its way so rapidly, on its own merits, that it is worth knowing some of the reasons for its success.
