1925 Rolls Royce Phantom I
The new pushrod-OHV straight-6 engine. Constructed as two groups of three cylinders with a single detachable head, the engine was described by Rolls-Royce as producing "sufficient" power.[3] The engine used a 4¼ in (107.9 mm) bore and undersquare 5½ in (139.7 mm) stroke for a total of 7.7 L (7,668 cc (467.9 cu in)) of displacement. In 1928, the cylinder heads were upgraded from cast iron to aluminium;

1928 Buick
This automobile has a 4 door tourer body style with a front located engine powering the rear wheels.
Power is produced by an overhead valve, 5.1 litre naturally aspirated 6 cylinder powerplant, with 2 valves per cylinder that develops power and torque figures of 90.5 bhp (92 PS/67 kW) at 2800 rpm and 291 N·m (215 lb·ft/29.7 kgm) at 1200 rpm respectively.
A 3 speed manual transmission transfers the power to the driven wheels.
The Buick weighs a claimed 1810 kg at the kerb.

1923 Ford Model T Huckster
A look at the engine on that old fellow.
The Ford Model T used a 177 cu in (2.90 L) inline 4-cylinder engine. It was primarily a petrol engine, but it had flex-fuel ability (called multifuel at the time) and could also burn kerosene or alcohol. It produced 20 hp (15 kW) for a top speed of 45 mph (72 km/h).
And a look at that engine
The T engine was an inline-four, with all four cylinders cast into one engine block. Such monobloc design was an uncommon practice when T production started in 1908. It lent itself to mass production, showing the Ford company's prescient focus on design for manufacturability. The head, however, was detachable, which not only aided Ford in manufacturing but also made valve jobs (cleaning, grinding, or replacement of the poppet valves) easier. The block and head were both of cast iron.
The engine's bore was 3 3⁄4 inches (95.25 mm) and its stroke was 4 inches (101.6 mm) even, for a total displacement of 177 cu in (2,900 cc). The compression ratio was low by modern standards, but typical for the era, making the engine forgiving of poor fuel quality and minimizing cranking effort at starting.
The valvetrain was a side valve (flathead) design.
The crankshaft had 3 main bearings.

1921 Ford Model T Touring
The Model T had a front-mounted 177-cubic-inch (2.9 L) inline four-cylinder engine, producing 20 hp (15 kW), for a top speed of 40–45 mph (64–72 km/h). According to Ford Motor Company, the Model T had fuel economy on the order of 13–21 mpg-US (16–25 mpg-imp; 18–11 L/100 km). The engine was capable of running on gasoline, kerosene, or ethanol, although the decreasing cost of gasoline and the later introduction of Prohibition made ethanol an impractical fuel for most users.
The ignition system used an unusual trembler coil system to drive the spark plugs, as used for stationary gas engines, rather than the expensive magnetos that were used on other cars. This ignition also made the Model T more flexible as to the quality or type of fuel it used. The need for a starting battery and also Ford's use of an unusual AC alternator located inside the flywheel housing encouraged the adoption of electric lighting (standard fitment as of 1915), rather than oil or acetylene lamps, but it also delayed the adoption of electric starting, which was not offered until 1919.
Model As
The engine was a water-cooled L-head inline 4-cylinder with a displacement of 201 cu in (3.3 l). This engine provided 40 hp (30 kW; 41 PS). Top speed was around 65 mph (105 km/h). The Model A had a 103.5 in (2,630 mm) wheelbase with a final drive ratio of 3.77:1. The transmission was a conventional 3-speed sliding gear manual unsynchronised unit with a single speed reverse. The Model A had 4-wheel mechanical drum brakes. The 1930 and 1931 models were available with stainless steel radiator cowling and headlamp housings.
