Nope. Last Windsor engine to be fitted to a production vehicle was the 302 in 2002 for the Explorer.

1100CI, DOHC 32Valve V8, produced 1940-1950 specifically for the Sherman tank and its derivatives. Over 1000Ft/lbs from idle to 2600RPM. My favorite part is the cams driven off the crank by way of worm gears and a drive shaft..

1940, DOHC, 525HP, 1000lb-ft? But wait, didn't the Japanese pioneer this stuff

I never implied that! Wise mucles heads always tell me pushrod valvetrain is actually a newer technology than OHC. And come on now, that engines a tank! or is it 'that tank's engine'?

Never said you did bud, relax! I've just heard that a million times from various Japanese car fanboys over the years claiming they developed everything from fuel injection and Computerized engine control to overhead camshafts and capacitive ignition.

The Cyclone was a clean sheet design.

The irony is that the good Windsor speed parts are now finally getting cheap and plentiful. There are now parts galone that bump your Windsor cubic inches into the 400+ area.
Back when I was running them, I scrounged the junkyard for some '69 and '60 351 heads to put on my severely warmed over '76 Mustang II.
It used to be expensive to race a Ford.
