I noticed allot of these engines as my Dad always, and still has, many old hot rod magazines. I even saw a 4 valve per cylinder engine Chevrolet built back in the early 20's, or somewhere back then. But, I didnt use lifelines or google. Thats girly |

I stink.... only got 11 and a few of those were lucky guess's.
But another one or two I would have figured out if I studied the pictures better. Not much experience with that old non-chevy stuff.... What the hell is a NailHead ? I was hoping for questions just about the sbc.... :tongue: |

I got them all right......what's so hard about that? (BTW I didn't cheat either)
Quote: A: Correct. Not a Ford 289 (distributor is in back), not a Pontiac (spark plugs are below ex ports), not a Mopar 360 (spark plug location). 73% (97373 out of 133728) of the other players got that question right. You got 17 right out of 17. |

Nailhead's are Buick engines called nailheads because the valves sat almost vertical and looked like nails sticking out of the head. |

I did the GM-only one..... got 36/56 (64%), I even missed two on the vettes.... got the 60/61 reversed. I felt like I did good just to get that score.... but maybe not. I didn't know the subtle differences between a lot of those models, so I did what any red-blooded American Man would do when put before a test he didn't study for and nobody was available to cheat on.... I guessed. I'm not even going to do the non-gm models, I've developed a headache from thinking. I need a cocktail. |

The narrow vertical valve covers allowed the engine to fit in the bay, so long occupied by a straight 8. The "nailhead" moniker came about because of the small valve head diameter in relation to the stem, nail-like. |

93% on the GM test, 94% on the non GM. That was a fun memory jog on the styling nuances of the era. I could tell a bel air from a biscayne a block away.

13 of 17. A few guesses by process of elimination, but most of those engines were recycled into red dirt or tuna cans before I was conceived.
