8/17 for me, not too bad considering I didn't look anything up. Fun game!

12/17. The ones that got me the most were the different variations of the old big block Chevy motors.

16 of 17. I mistook the early olds for a later olds....
off the cuff. If you started with the seventies and later I would not do well, but using the fifties sixties and a few seventies......just the period I was still interested in all kinds of cars. One of the games I like to play is to identify oddball engines at my favorite machinists.....blocks or heads sitting there with nothing to identify them. I don't do too bad. i also like to look at antique tools and small machines and try to figure out what they were for.
