Hello Nelson,
Is this narrator an AI?
Also... I have always understood the Ford endurance prototype engines, for the Mk Ii, and Mk 4, to have used iron blocks, not
alloy. I believe aluminum blocks were looked at, but did not provide the necessary reliability.
The discussion of alloy in the narration may refer to materials added into the iron?
Inquiring minds wish to know

Yes the narration is mixed up and repetitive. Fouls up a good story
