That may be the source of the incorrect stories about A4 being derived
from a jeep engine. I almost bought an old Coast Guard surplus surf
rescue boat about 40 years ago. It had a 4 cylinder Gray Marine engine,
but some of the castings had JEEP embossed on them. So, some WWII boats
did have 4 cylinder marinized Jeep engines, but they were not the A4.

They got used in a TON of WW II boats of various types, but they
weren't A4s then. I think the 1940s version was called a "Utility 4".

I once heard a story that the Atomic 4 was the power plant in the WW
II landing craft. Anyone know if this is true?
