The 1940 Canadian Mercury engines were available and in production from 1 November 1939! The DND papers show that by spring 1941 Ford's offered a Lincoln Zephyr V-12 engined F60H..and I suspect that at least one was produced! Also, the F60H could be converted in production to a 6 x 6. However by then the project was doomed and the contract went instead to GM of Canada, who offered the GMC 270-powered C60X. Even then the power was wanting, and as we al know the Chrysler 8 323.5 was installed in a C60X airportable G/S to create the ultimae CMP.
