Hercules engine - Ford taunus
Dear Muttfans,
Hercules most certainly was a manufacturer of Mutt engines. Somewhere in the archives I have a photo of a product sheet from the company clearly showing the mutt engine.
Blackdog is also correct when he says it was a german design. The mutt engine reminds me very much of the British Ford cars the Consul and Zephyr) of the late 50s.
A couple of years ago, i was in touch with a Ford engineer who was involved in the testing of an M151 engine in Egypt in the 1950s.
He confirmed that the company used an off-the-shelf engine which was already in use in the Ford Tunus (Grmany). I would reckon that the Taunus owed its creation to a similar-engine design in Michigan.
Kind regards....
