A nice little test....

Engine Identification. I got 14 out of 18.

Nice photos too.

That 455 was way too buried

I gave up guessing at ten questions. I was never into American V8s enough to memorize where the dipstick was placed on some obscure GM engine that was only offered in 1958.

I got 11/18 which I think is good considering most of those engines are as old as my parents.

Hey, was that an old guy shot?

15 out of 18.

I didn't know a lot of them...but time spent at NSRA and GoodGuys events as a youth let me to make very good educated guesses on many of them. And the olds was given away by Wally (thanks Wally!).

You can infer a lot by just valve cover shape, exhaust port spacing, and distributor location...

12/18.

I'm OK with only being able to identify weird old engines 2/3 of the time.

17/18, the 348 vs 409 one got me (the dipstick side one). All of the other ones were easy.

They could do better though, they need a B and RB Mopar, an AMC (that would be fun, they're externally identical :grin: ), a 455 Buick, an LS motor, etc, etc...

15 out of 18. The 348/409 dipstick on opposite sides got me as did the front/rear dizzy Hemi's. Been a long time since I saw a nailhead Buick!

Jesus. 7 out of 18. I feel stoopid.

also 7 out of 18 .. I don't feel dumb at all ... Mostly american V-8's I've never owned or seen ... could the designers figured out the diffrence between an International Harvester V8-304 or a AMC V8-304?

If your not into old V-8s that haven't been produced in 50 years you'll do badly.

11/18 Awfully Chevy centric but a fun game.

Dudes. Count the bottom valve cover bolts. :cool:

8 outta 18, I don't care what it is as long as it makes happy noises.

11/18 Ive never owned a V8 in my life:grin:

10/18. I've never owned a V8 either.

35 years ago, I would have nailed them all, but who sees some of those relics anymore?

17/18 - messed up on the one what wasn't a 409.
