Editing EMD FT (section)

==Engine and powertrain==
The FT introduced a 16-cylinder version of the 567 (later 567A) series engine developing {{convert|1350|hp|abbr=on}} at 800 [[Revolutions per minute|rpm]]. Designed specifically for railroad locomotives, this [[supercharged|mechanically scavenged]] ([[Roots type supercharger|Roots-blown]]) [[Two-stroke engine|two stroke]] 45 degree V type, with an {{convert|8+1/2|in|mm|0|abbr=on}} [[Bore (engine)|bore]] by {{convert|10|in|mm|0|abbr=on}} [[Stroke (engine)|stroke]] giving {{convert|567|cuin|L}} [[Engine displacement|displacement]] per cylinder, remained in production until 1966. A D8 D.C. generator provides power to four D7 traction motors, two on each truck, one on each axle, in a B-B arrangement. The [[Blomberg B|Blomberg]] design introduced here has been EMD's standard B truck, used with few exceptions through the [[F59PHI]] of 1994. EMD has built all its own components since 1939.{{sfn|Pinkepank|1973|pp=12, 26, 90}}<ref name=ros03>{{cite book| editor-first=David| editor-last=Ross| title=The Encyclopedia of Trains and Locomotives| year=2003| publisher=Barnes & Noble| isbn=978-0-7607-9679-5}}</ref>{{page needed|date=July 2016}}<ref name=joh05>{{cite book| last1=Johnston| first1=Howard| last2=Harris| first2=Ken| title=Jane's Train Recognition Guide| year=2005| publisher=HarperCollins Publishing| isbn=978-0-06-081895-1| page=445}}</ref>

Only the four demonstrator FTs used the 567 U-Deck engine. Those engines were replaced in the demonstrators by 567 V-Deck engines before sale to the Southern in May 1941. All FT locomotives built between December 1940 and February 1943 used the 567 V-Deck engine. The 567 V-Deck engine was replaced in production with the 567A engine in May 1943. All subsequent FT locomotives built from May 1943 to the end of production in November 1945 used the 567A engine.
