Yeah, I read a bit too far in the beginning, although I did see the years at the bottom. Just figured they wouldve gotten the Hemmeh craze earlier if they actually made the engine earlier.
Reminds me of when I was researching WW2 tanks...Mitsubishi made 99% of all their tanks (no jokes man, thats not why they lost!!!) and the few they didnt make were by DaimlerChrysler with BMW engines. EVERYTHING had a Inline 6 or a V12 too....goddamn those were the days...
American tanks however used big detroit V8s, and I was extatic to find that one of them had "2 Cadillac 5.7's", then spent an hour and a half just to find out it wasnt really the LT1. I knew LT1s were made later than that, but maybe that was a similar design or something
