Not V16 gas engines converted.
The Detroit (gm) 16v a two cycle diesel came different sizes and were actually two 8v's connected in line, Two sizes I know of were the 71 cu.in per cyl and the 110 cu.in per cyl ., the HP, was governed by which injectors were used.

You mean they didn't use converted Cadillac engines! 😁

That's what I like about those 1950s films. The night before I watched "beneath," I watched "The Thing from Outer Space," with James Arness as the space monster. The actor who was the captain on the sub played the part of an Air Force captain.

Eddie Fisher played the part of McLeod in "Beneath." I didn't recognize him.

I grew up on those 50s/60s Sci Fi movies and still like them. Where do you stream yours? And just for fun, what do you consider the best ones ever made? I like Forbidden Planet and This Island Earth.

As a kid, I loved sci-fi movies, as bad as they were in comparison with today's films. I generally watch them on YouTube and sometimes on Netflix. YouTube could have several different posts of the same movie by different people. As for my favorites, that's hard to say. I like "When World's Collide," and that line was used on a Seinfeld episode when friends from two different segments of a character's (George?) life met. I also like "When the Earth Stood Still" and "War of the Worlds" - "Invasion of the Body Snatchers." I'd better stop here, or I'll be adding titles all day.

War of the Worlds and The (original) Day the Earth Stood Still are great classics. Saw them both as a young child and both scared the hell out of me

I've watched both since my childhood. No longer scary, but still good.

There was another one I remember, but I can't recall the title. It's set in London, and they discover something unusual in the Undergorund. It turns out that the earth was once populated by a different race of creatures.

"Village of the Damned" was creepy.

I've seen about fifty-eight of them.

The movie you’re thinking of is “5 Million Years to Earth”. Yep, “Village of the Damned” is classic as is “Children of the Damned”

Yes, some good ones there.

I'm going to take a look at Beneath again to find Eddie Fisher (McLeod).

What? Nobody has listed "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" as a classic.

Let me suggest Attack of the Crab Monsters (on You Tube) directed by Harvey Corman no less.

The title made me laugh, and seeing "Harvey Corman" just added to the appeal.
