The Darlington Engine plant was a ■■■■■■■ facility and the V6 & V8 engines were entirely ■■■■■■■ albeit the V6’s used by Dodge were “labelled” Chrysler but they were ■■■■■■■ never the less. Perkins supplied Ford with “Ford” V8 engines but with the Ford logo on the rocker covers but they were still Perkins. This reminds me of a 2:5 D Peugeot engine we had in a Granada and when we had to recon the engine the parts we required were about half the price from the local Peugeot dealer than buying them from the Ford Dealer ! it was unbelievable but true all the same ! Cheers Bewick.
Just to confirm what Dennis said above, an article from the Comm Motor mag 6 September 1968 about the Perkins V8.510 being fitted to the Ford D1000.
Ford fits Perkins V8 in D1000 range
by Tony Wilding
• Today the Ford Motor Co. Ltd. announces the introduction of the Perkins V8.510 diesel engine as an option in the D1000 range. The unit will be used in two power-output versions–170 bhp SAE gross at 2,600 rpm for the 16-ton rigids and 185 bhp SAE gross at 2,800 rpm for the artic versions of the D1000. Torque ratings are 396 lb.ft. gross at 1,600 rpm and 412 b.ft. gross at 1,625 rpm respectively.
The turbocharged Ford 360 cu.in. engine available in the D1000 16-ton model has a quoted gross output of 150 bhp at 2,400 rpm and the ■■■■■■■ V8 in this model has a rating of 170 bhp gross at 3,000 rpm. The 24and 28-ton D1000 artics retain the option of the ■■■■■■■ V8 with 185 bhp gross at 3,300 rpm but it is not possible to make direct comparisons between these figures and those quoted for the Perkins as different standards have been used to arrive at the specified outputs. SAE gross ratings for the alternative engines would be at least five per cent higher than the “British gross” ratings quoted.
Special fittings to the V8 in the Ford application include valve rocker covers having the name “Ford” cast in and exhaust branches adapted to take an exhaust brake. The flywheel housing incorporates additional ventilation for the 12in. twin plate clutch used by Ford in the D1000. The V8 engine for Ford will be built on the new production line at the fully automated factory that Perkins has recently opened in Peterborough. But an important aspect of the Ford use is that the Ford Motor Co. will be responsible for the guarantee, parts supply and servicing of the engines it uses.
It seems Ford was able to strike a deal with Perkins similar to Chrysler and ■■■■■■■■ its little wonder people get confused about exactly which engine both the Ford D1000 and Dodge 500 series used. Franky.
The Seddon is similar to the one dad drove for Lawes Transport of Whitley Wood, Reading, in the sixties. Reg number was JMO 1 and it had a wooden bulk grain body with three floor hatches so a lot of shovelling involved.

Spotted this 1946 Austin K2 for sale at Johns Motors on the A5 nr Towcester also on site is a 1944 Austin K4
If you are in the area anytime its worth a stop and a chat with the owner Jonathon he has an assortment of classic motors although mainly cars in his showroom its more like a museum than a working garage.
