The Ranger engines came in both inline 6 and the V-12 types. If memory serves me correctly, the inline 6 was 440 cu. in. The V-12 was 770 cu. in. I think the V-12 was rated somewhere above 500 H.P. One of their major uses was just before and during WW II as power plants for a twin engine training bomber (Fairchild AT-21 Gunner). I wish I had a couple of those engines to play with. The Ranger V-12 was co-designed by one of the original engine designers of the Allison V-1710. If you have ever seen a Ranger V-12 up close, there's a lot of similarities between the two. The Ranger V-12 has sometimes been referred to as the "Baby Allison".
