The 1936 Ford V8 22HP is a 2.2L engine developing 60bhp at 3,500 rpm. Cars, in the UK in 1936, were charged road tax depending on their "rated horsepower". Hence, this car was sold as a "22hp", to attract a lower tax charge.

Not quite correct .the “22hp” refers to an arbitrary number arrived at by mathematical equation and bears no relation to actual power output.

@@matthewq4b OK, A bit more research, has revealed more information! "Road vehicle ownership had been taxed since the earliest days of motor vehicles, with the UK's first schemes for "light locomotives" introduced in 1896. Under the Motor Car Act 1903, all road vehicles were taxed annually at a rate of 20 shillings per year, with the system administered by county councils. The Finance Act 1910 replaced the earlier system with the "Road Fund tax", based on a scale of liabilities based on horsepower rating, formulated by the Royal Automobile Club and subsequently referred to as the "Treasury rating". The Act stipulated that the funds raised should be used for maintaining the road network. The fund was administered by the Roads Board, which had considerable difficulty spending the money it raised, until it was replaced by the new Ministry of Transport in 1919, which abolished petrol duties and increased vehicle duties. The tax disc was first introduced in 1921, under the Roads and Finance Act 1920, which set the duty at £1 per horsepower. The UK Road Fund remained in place until 1937; when it was abolished the hypothecation of vehicle duties for roads came to an end. Responsibility for vehicle licensing was passed from county councils to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Centre in 1965. The "Treasury rating" system remained in place until 1948, when it was replaced by a flat rate Vehicle Excise Duty charge of £10 per annum. This flat rate system remained in place until 2001, when the present emissions-based banding system was introduced. By this time, the UK was the only country in Europe not to charge motorists on the basis of some characteristic of their vehicles." So between 1921 and 1937, the road fund was £1 per horsepower. So it made sense to be "economical" with the truth about the hp an engine could produce! Read this link, it explains everything you need to know about how the "Treasury rating", also known as the "Horsepower tax", was calculated: books.google.co.uk/books?id=LbCIGEFLi_kC&pg=PA28&lpg=PA28&dq=Royal+Automobile+Club+Treasury+rating&source=bl&ots=jm99Oaw5Ce&sig=ACfU3U1BNQlMJZ7rIT9oVI0ulL5z26vljg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiBhJD9rfThAhU08-AKHaZPBOcQ6AEwE3oECAgQAQ#v=onepage&q=Royal%20Automobile%20Club%20Treasury%20rating&f=false

alot of the cars from the 1930s were just numbers and letters resembling what they were or would do, or even just there model and trim level, example: "ford model B coupe" the reason engines are still named after there design, I assume is for simplicity to avoid confusion, since most engines are very similar in design and it would just be confusing to have two engines with the same parts being named two different names.

It would be nice to have brand new 1936 Ford today. They looked well made, high tech back then, but the mechanics were more owner friendly for home maintenance and repair.

Had a '37 four-door Ford till my Dad discovered I had a second car. I also had a '49 Olds 88. The guy that I bought the Ford from took it back (I worked with him at the bakery - one of the three jobs that I worked each day that summer. I was 16). Only had it for a few days. We lived downtown and the parking around our house was angle parking. So it took a few days for Dad to discover..

All those old videos always have the same nostalgic music, that can get tear up a little bit.

You can see the similarities between the 1936 Ford V8, & that of the Ford Pilot that was introduced in 1947. The engine size had increased by then. Initially, though, the Pilot was to be fitted with the small 22hp 136 cubic inch engine, but was dropped & replaced with the 30 hp (3622cc) V8 engine with 85 bhp. Very few improvements were done during the V8 Pilot production run. In 1949 a bonnet (or hood) safety catch was added, & the rear axle ratio was changed from 4.11:1 to 3.73:1

@Bill WilliamsYou insult Henry Ford and slaves. Henry built Ford Motor by sheer force of will. Hundreds of thousands of people were employed. Tens of thousands quit and went on with their lives. Slaves could be whipped, tortured, maimed, chained and jailed. Anything a rich, dissatisfied car owner can do to destroy his unfaithful car (personal property) a slave owner could do to a slave. It is an insult to compare Henry Ford with a slave owner. Henry Ford DID expect worker to work. I know this is anathema to UAW members. When you hire a hundred thousand workers, you want them to get as much work done as possible. Henry made continuous productivity improvements to the production line, decreases in cost, improvements in components increases in wages, all resulting in more benefit to the consumer. This is totally foreign to the UAW as they bitterly resent productivity improvement. Might lead to fewer workers and a less powerful union. Henry Ford’s black workers stuck with him longer than his white workers. My hat is off to them. UAW members are just like the mafia or gang bangers. They steal from honest people who create value. A gang banger will put a gun to the head of a woman and demand the money she EARNED if she doesn’t want to be destroyed. Exactly as unions do. They LOVE their clout. You started out deciding your self-interest is with unions. You then assembled facts to prove that correct. No truth can penetrate your brain. You will believe your nonsense for the rest of your life. Henry Ford built millions of cars and the UAW extorted money from him. UAW Motors has yet to build a single car.

I turned sideways more than once! Chrysler had hydraulics in the mid 20"s. Fords also had a terrible reputation for rusting. Within two years the floor boards and the trunk bottom would be full of holes. I had to put a cross brace inside the drivers door so it wold not scrape on the running board because the bottom hinge area rotted away! The clutch was badly designed and it didn't take long for it to begin chattering and eventually reversing was hardly possible because of the terrible shaking and chattering.

This is an English Ford, not an American Ford. In 1936 the American Ford V8 had 85hp, not 22hp. The British, not having their own domestic supply of oil, used much less powerful engines to get higher MPGs. The smallest American Ford V8 was the 60hp, and that was introduced in 1937. The Ford 60hp was dropped after 1940 and replaced with the inline 6 cylinder 90hp engine. The V8 at that time also had 90hp, but the last Ford Flathead V8, (1953), had 110hp.

A Ford V8 in 1936 made something on the order of 85 horsepower. That was bumped up from 60 horsepower which the original flathead made in 1932.

@@willythewave The '32 Ford did not run the V8-60 engine as it was called. It had a 21 stud flathead, a totally different engine.

No lube used during any assembly. No oil filter. Penny pinching Henry.

22 HP unbelievable from a V8.

Ford V60 engine. Looks like a 1937 model. The video is labeled wrong 136 cu. in., 60hp, 94 ft. lbs. torque.

It's NOT 22 BHP - merely the calculation used to determine Road Tax, in the UK.

Was horsepower measured differently in the UK compared to the US? The US 1936 Ford V8 put out 85 horsepower. I can't imagine why Ford of England would produce a 22 horsepower V8 unless it was computed differently than the US V8. Maybe the horsepower was computed as less because of road taxes?

Even using the British taxable HP formula you would get something like 35 or 40 I think. The Model T was actually 22 taxable HP in England. So I don't think the title is correct.

It relied on the bore/stroke dimensions and taxation - and had nothing to do with "computed/projected or estimated" horsepower.

@@lesreed7943 Thanks. That makes sense that it has to be some kind of computed value for tax purposes rather than horsepower to the rear wheels.

the “22hp” refers to an arbitrary number arrived at by mathematical equation and bears no relation to actual power output. The equation was invented by the Royal Automobile Club and effectively multiplies cylinder diameter by the number of cylinders. It was all done purely for tax reasons.

​@@michael931 fact of the matter is the Model T was only good for about 20 brake horse power , so the taxable road use rate would have been much lower..

There is a 1936 GM plant video online. GM seemed far more advanced than the Ford plant regarding automation, tooling, etc.

Yep RAC horsepower rating for Registration purposes based on the point 4 ,d squared .N formula made for 22 HP. Stupid formula held back development of English cars for along time.

The 22 has nothing to do with horse power. That engine produced around 65hp. The 22 is some sort of model number they used in Britain.

The horsepower rating is way wrong the 1936Ford flathead V 8 had 95 horsepower.
