1932 Ford Deluxe Model 18 typically refers to the configuration of the engine. The Model 18 was equipped with Ford's legendary flathead V8 engine, which was a groundbreaking innovation at the time. This V8 engine produces a whopping 350 horsepower.

The engine was mounted longitudinally in the chassis and featured a side-valve design, with the cylinders arranged in a "V" configuration. The default header configuration would have consisted of exhaust manifolds attached to each side of the engine, leading to a single exhaust pipe or dual exhaust pipes depending on the specific model and aftermarket modifications. These exhaust headers were typically made of cast iron and designed to efficiently route exhaust gases away from the engine for improved performance and sound.
