There weren't many engines that went on to careers with subsequent manufacturers or in other appliations; the three that come to mind are the Pierce-Arrow 8 & V12 and the Lycoming V12 that went on to very long careers powering fire engines of Seagrave and American LaFrance (?), and though not the same engine, some of the design elements of the Franklin engines that were modified for a small number of Tuckers, and for a very large number of Korean war helicopters.


One more to mention is the small Buick V8 that was sold to Rover in the Mid-Sixties. Initially with 3.5 litres (215 ci), this engine powered generations of Rovers (P5B, P6, SD1), Range Rovers, and Land Rovers. It even powered British cars as the MG V8, the Triumph TR8, some TVR's and, of course, the Morgan Plus Eight.
