Hi Phil,
The photo of the waterproofed engine on the stand is not a Ford V8, it looks to me to be an Austin 4 cyl., either an 8hp or a 10hp.

When I worked in army workshops, one of the longer serving workers told me that they had a display unit once with a Bedford petrol engine in it all waterproofed and the tank was filled with water and the engine started. Think is was taken out for displays.
