New engine quiz

19. Didn't know 52 was old, but hey, good company. The 348 almost threw me, but I remembered it from another time, the valve covers made me think but the fenders of the car looked older than what a 409 could have been in, so it was a guess.

Got 18, I mised the one on the 428 Ford. I thought it had the wrong carb, cam , and intake. I thought it was bracket motor.

another old guy gets 19...

For any of you who missed the Studebaker Avanti, I wasn't sure about it until I noticed the chrome spark plug/plug wires shields. One other car had those - the Corvette.

A fiberglass car doesn't block radio frequency (RF) waves so the wires were enclosed in metal so the radio could be heard without static.

I remember seeing one of these quizzes a while back with a picture of a single 4 barrel W-block. You had to decide whether it was a 348 or 409. As I remember, the oil dipstick is on different sides. That's a tough one.
