Sources for V8 engines
Not sure how the thought came to me, but where did the engines used in UK, NZ and Oz carriers come from? Shipped in crates from Canada and US? Or, locally produced copies or equivalents?

Australian and NZ Carriers used Canadian-made 95Hp 239ci 99A engines, very similar to the regular CMP engines. Some Australian assembled Ford CMPs, however used US-made 99TF engines, Maybe because the 99A blocks had been lifted from the CKD crates?? Gearboxes were also the regular Canadian 4 speed Truck gearboxes with externals like the shift lever and clutch lever adapted for the Carrier layout.
English carriers used 85Hp 221ci engines, but I believe these engines were already being made in England for prewar Ford and Fordson vehicles, and they feature Lucas electricals and Solex carbs, also sourced in England.
