    Interesting comment you made about the Chev V8 being both an OHV and a crossflow engine. The competition at the time did indeed largely have side valve engines, but plenty of them were at that time still T head engines, which is a crossflow sidevalve design. Cheers.

      T-head engines were obsolete by the end of WWI, so they weren't being used by anybody by WWII, L-heads continued in some economy cars into the 1960's.

    These 288 cubic inch V-8 engines were built from 1917 to 1918 and sold through 1919. The exhaust exits through the rear of the cylinder heads. My Uncle had one of these touring cars that was a 1918. There were also 4 passenger roadster models. My uncle's car was sold to a collector in Australia about 25 years ago. The book 60 Years of Chevrolet has a picture of my uncle's engine before he purchased the complete car in 1980. Pinky Randall owned the engine and car when the book was published.

    That first Chevrolet V8 made 55 horsepower in it's first year, 60 in it's second year. That 36 horsepower figure is probably a taxable horsepower rating, not the brake horsepower rating. The Dodge 4 was a 212 cube motor, and it made 35 horsepower, so 55 - 60 horses sounds about right for the actual horsepower for this Chevy 288 cube V8. This car failed to sell because it cost as much as a Buick, but said "Chevrolet" on it, and Chevy had by then become established as a low-priced car, the Buick was known as a medium-priced car. Volkswagen had that problem when they introduced an expensive car called the Phaeton. They say it was a nice enough car, but it said Volkswagen on it, and people refused to pay that much for a "Volkswagen".

    Hi Jay!: Another interesting engine episode! I can only imagine how hard it was to find any good info on this little known engine. About the only thing harder would to find GOOD info on the infamous Copper Cooled Chevrolet! One of Kettering's NOT better ideas! Durant was for sure a MAJOR part of Automotive history. There was a Durant factory in Muncie, Indiana for quite a few years. I have an interesting story, not about Durant, but Durant's son Cliff Durant! He was a rich playboy, thanks to his Dad's success in the auto industry. He was a chubby guy, but still raced Miller racing cars at Indianapolis. Of course the cars were called Durant Specials. But they were Millers. One of his had a flat bottomed steering wheel to clear his large stomach whilst racing! In any event. GM decided to buy the old Inter-State auto plant in Muncie, Indiana, and produce a car called the Sheridan. Now William Durant wanted famed former auto racer and WWI ace Eddie Rickenbacker to run the Sheridan service department division of Sheridan. While on one of the trips to visit Durant, Eddie met Cliff Duran'ts wife Adelade. They became VERY friendly. In fact she decided to divorce Cliff Durant and she married Eddie Rickenbacker!! Well, it wasn't long that Eddie's job with the Sheridan division of GM was short lived, as well as the Sheridan Car itself only made for one or two years. GM decided to get out fast, and Durant bought the factory and produced Durant cars there for many years. So while I cannot confirm William Durant's lady problems, his son Cliff FOR SURE had that sort of problem!!

      Cliff Durant gave his wife, Adelade VD. His unfaithfulness ended their marriage and left her sterile. Eddie and Adelade reared two boys who were both adopted. As for William Durant he tried to buy almost every car company he could. About the only one he was important in creating was Chevrolet and Louis Chevrolet and he came to blows about that as Chevrolet was removed from the company that carried his name. The GM board fired Durant because of the way he spent money buying car companies, most of which quickly failed. Chevrolet happened after he was fired the first time and it was successful enough he was able to secretly (this would not be legal today) buy GM stock and put himself back in control. Chevrolet made friends with another disgruntled associate of Durant, William Little and they produced a car in Indianapolis called the Monroe. Chevrolet also started the Frontenac to build racing cars and performance parts for Fords. Several cars were produced and entered in the 1920 Indianapolis 500, some as Monroes and some as Frontenacs. Louis' youngest brother, Gaston won the 1920 race in a Monroe though some records miss report this as a Frontenac as there was little difference other than the name plate. Gaston was killed in a racing accident later that same year. Chevrolet was back in the winner's circle at Indy in 1921 with Tommy Milton driving a Frontenac.

      @@What.its.like. Well, I see that the official Chevrolet specs list do not disclose total displacement, though they confirm the bore and stroke you list.
      So apparently whoever wrote the wiki article is in error. It looks like he may have plugged in the wrong stroke figure. 288 cubic inches would be pretty close if he used 2.875 inches instead of 3.375.
      So clearly, then, the error is not yours. My apologies.
