14 out 18 ... passing grade at least. The older engines are the ones that got me. Guess I am not old enough.

14 out of 18. I have always loved the cars, but have never been exposed to them enough to recognize some of the specifics. The few fords were easy for me. Got them quickly.

fun post
It was a NEAR thing.
Got 'em all...
but the Olds was a guess based on the aircleaner and the Chrysler 360 almost went down as a Pontiac...
Oh, I NEVER knew there was a Chrysler Polysherical!!! Just figured it couldn't be a hemi with that valve cover...
Lots of other engines out there, keep it coming!

...never could tell the difference between a 409 and 348 by looking at them. Apparently the dip sticks are on opposite sides, hey THATS getting pretty darn picky. Other questions were a process of elimination (polyspherical comes to mind). Some were a virtual no brainer, others clearly a 'best guess'.
An interesting article, I enjoyed it.

Grey hair does help. The pics made it pretty easy. Got 'em all.

100% It was easy. I figured they would get more difficult as they went on but didn't

Let's review; is this a 348 a 409 or a 'polyshperical' head design?

That's the one that got me. Didn't know about the dipstick being on opposite sides. |

the 3 stromberg's tipped me off on the 348...plus the generator and not an alternator. I got all of them right...grey hair(what is left) does help.

Ernie----actually the combustion chamber in the 348/409s are in the block---the head is flat---the top deck of the block is at an angle and the piston top is sloped to creat a wedge shape---combustion flame front and flow was good but the pistons were heavy and it took special equipment to bore them oversize( if anyone would ever do that)

The reason I got the 348 correct, was because they already used the 409 in a previous question, so it didn't make sense that it was the answer again.
If they'd asked about the 348 FIRST, I'd have guessed it was a 409.

Good point Sal, process of elimination. Still, you DO need 'gray hair' to even reason out the multiple choices. Poly head on a 348-409? Eh eh, that was just to mislead you. I Photo Shopped out the dip stick on the 348, effectivly making it a 409. If you look close you can see the editing where the dip stick used to be.
Generator? Triple duece's? A nice old school touch on this hot rod. But it still could be either 348 or 409 based on that.
Was it the 348-409 heads they called 'porcupine' or was that the term reserved for the 396 family of engines?

Gray-beard here got all (18), but lucked out on the ram induction 413. I thought I remembered a rare ram induction option buried deep on the option list of the old late 60's Chrysler "letter car" 392 Hemis, but from what I could make out of the valve cover in the pic, it was no Hemi. Great post!

My dad had a 63 Chrysler 300 with the 413 long ram induction. It was fast for it's day and size. |

Missed 2. I actually missed the 289 because the valve covers did not look right at that side angle, plus the canister looking alternator or whatever it was.....that would have been my second guess......the rest were pretty easy...... either they were obvious or by process of elimination...they were not one of the other choices.
