Low- -priced car should not be complzmted. THB engine of the new Ford reptesenfi " new development in modern automobile. engineering. It is unique in design and performance, giving unusual smoothness, acceleration, speed and power without sace. rifice of reliability and economy. Ford engineering has found the way to in- clude every essential feature of good perform: ance without the necessity of a high speed, complicated motor. The design of the cylinder head is just one factor in this performance. Others are the direct ' gravity gasoline feed, the speciaily designed carburetor, the new hot-spot manifold, the care- fully planned large valve diameter, the chrome silicon alloy valves, the aluminum pistons, the statically and dynamically balanced crankshafe., and flywheel, and the simplicity of* the- - . developcd after electticfl, fgnitfofi,‘cocling, fubrication and fuel systems, Engme m‘ailhting reduces vibration H 5 ! Of special importance is the manrer in which engine vibration is absorbed before it reaches the chassxsof the cir, thereby prevent- . ! ing unplmznt vibrition periods. This is done in the new Ford through the introduction of a flexible front end support that is both simple and practical—a truly remarkable improvement in engine mounting y months of testing and i experimenting, .
