1941, Franklin introduced four new engines based on a 4.25 x 3.5
inch cylinder. These engines were the 4-cylinder 4AC-199, the
6-cylinder 6AC-298, the 8-cylinder 8AC-398 and the
12-cylinder 12AC-596.
The U.S. military gave the 6AC-298 the
designation O-300. Production ended in 1945. A
later Continental engine received the same designation. |
