I think it was a cosworth :)
The Model T had a front-mounted, 177 in³ (2.9 L) four-cylinder en bloc motor (that is, all four in one block, as common now, rather than in individual castings, as common then) producing 20 hp (15 kW) for a top speed of 45 mph (72 km/h). The engine had side valves and three main bearings. According to Ford, the Model T had fuel economy on the order of 13 to 21 mpg [3]. The engine was capable of running on gasoline or ethanol[4], though the decreasing cost of gasoline and the later introduction of prohibition made ethanol an impractical fuel.
