Summary:

PLYMOUTH'S new V-8 engine has a specific output of 0.65 bhp/cu in. and 145-psi bmep obtained through a combination of high thermal, volumetric, and mechanical efficiencies.Good design, the author points out, has achieved this high output despite the dual-venturi carburetor and the 7.6/1 compression ratio, selected for satisfactory operation on regular-grade fuels.The engine has a bore and stroke of 3.563 3, weighs 568 lb without flywheel, is 29 inches long, and is designed for optimum response to future compression ratio increases.(A report of oral discussion following presentation of this paper appears on pages 220, following "The New Packard V-8 Engine," by W. E. Schwieder.)
