Uh,

You got 17 right out of 19.

Maybe I should get a life? I admittedly guessed on the Avanti engine. Missed the 348 vs. the 409

I got 12 as well, but I really only knew 3 or 4.

Yeah, you REALLY need a life....


A: Correct.
This is the Ford 427 SOHC "Cammer".

Not a Chrysler hemi (spark plugs not in middle of valve cover), not the Chrysler poly motor (spark plugs not at bottom of valve covers).

This was Ford's answer to the Chrysler 426 Hemi. The 427 has hemispherical combustion chambers and a single overhead cam in each head. The dual-quad 427 was rated at 657 HP @ 7500 RPM, 575 ft-lbs @ 4200 RPM!

It was only offered as an over-the-counter option for $2500.

47% (16813 out of 35637) of the other players got that question right.

You got 17 right out of 19.

17 of 19. I guessed right on the 348 vs 409. Lucky! Most were too easy.
