ENGINE ID QUIZ PART III


Recommended Posts

Having been amazed by the knowledge you gentlemen have shown on the previous two tests, I have decided to make this one a little harder.

But due to lack of participation, - here are some choices to choose from - answers below.

 

Engine #1

 

a. 58 Pontiac Chieftain Tri-Power

b. 57 Olds 88 w/J-2

c. 69 Plymoth 6-Pak

d. Noe of the above

 

Engine #2

 

a. 55 Cadillac Coupe DeVille

b. 54 Packard w/259

c. 55 Studebaker 259 w/WW Strombergs

d. 56 Rambler

 

Engine #3

 

a. 57 Pontiac Bonneville 347 w/FI

b. 53 Cadillac Ambulance

c. 57 Rambler Rebel 327 w/FI

d. None of the above

 

Engine #4

 

a. 60 Chevy Belair 348

b. 61 Chevy Impala 409

c. 62 Chevy impala SS 409

d. 63 Chevy Impala Z11-427

 

Engine #5

 

a. 69 Holman & Moody Boss 429 Mercury

b. 70 Boss 429 Mustang

c. 71 Mercury Comet Boss 460

d. None of the above

 

Engine #6

 

a. 53 Olds 98

b. 51 Cadillac Ambulance

c. 84 Avanti

d. 383 Chevy Crate Engine

 

And to everybody who got more than 60% correct on the previous 2 tests, you are light years ahead of the Mopar, GM, and Ford forum members where I also posted these quizzes - go figure.

I guess no multiple choice equals no players.

 

I know one of these for sure, and will make guesses on the rest, and try to do it in a way that does not spoil the quiz.

 

#1 is either a Pontiac or Oldsmobile mid to late 50's 3/2 engine.

 

#2 is a 55 to 57 Packard or Studebaker with 2 WW 2 barrels

 

#3 is something I have NEVER seen before. It is probably GM, but other than that, I have no idea.

 

#4 is the one I know, my son is restoring one at the present time. Not to give away what it is, but the engine designation was later used on a model designation for a Camaro, and its a 63.

 

#5 is a Boss 429 stuck in something other than a Mustang. Or maybe the Kaase Boss heads on a 460 block. I see a bit of a decal on the valve cover that says Boss 46???

 

Hurry up and post the answers. There is money being wagered on what number 3 turns out to be.

#1 Mid fifties Pontiac or Olds?

 

#2 289 Studebaker Hawk or maybe Starlite Coupe?

 

#3 326 Pontiac FI? Maybe a Star Chief

 

#4 '63 RPO Z11 Chevy

 

#5 Ford Boss possibly 460 looks like an aftermarket, modified Mustang or early Fairlane

 

Like Adder said, these are tough. That last one ain't no factory piece.
