    Old engine quiz.

    This one is a bit tougher. I got 15 of 17, but I had to guess on a couple.

    I did really good. I got 3 out of 17. I can change an air filter.

    After getting about a third of the way through without a single right answer, I bailed.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Got 1 wrong. #3, the early ford looked like a sb chevy. The valve cover bolts should have ruled out SB chevy now that I look back on it. I had no idea what it was. Now if it had the stock cast iron ex manifolds on it I would have figured it out.

    Yep, the old Y block, the first overhead valve V-8 offered by ford . I think it came in 3 flavors. 272, 292, and 312.

    Actually, like 283-327 Chevy, the 292-312 were almost the same engine. The biggest problem with the y-blocks was getting oil to the top end. The passages were tiny, and when they clogged up the rockers would clatter like mad. Several companies sold top oiler kits to solve the problem.
