History Name That Engine Trivia Thread

Looks like a Pontiac Straight 8!

(couldn't be because your picture's name Pontiac flathead?)

 

I'm going to guess Northstar on the blown hemi looking engine above.

 

Hers another one

 

It might be...I think I'm wrong on the 5.7 or 6.1L Hemi, the oil filter isn't right, and some other stuff isn't either...

And it doesn't look like a modular ford...

Cadillac was really thinkin' when they put the starter under the intake on those Northstars..

 

Negative on the Suburu, Goggo was closer.

 

Think - world's largest car manufacturer....

 

Shit, I didn't even think about that....Toyota Crown Hemi?

 

Well then I'm back to the Lloyd. I'm doing the same thing just spread out. Why are there rules on this anyway?

 

try this one

 

Tatra air-cooled V8

 

Bugatti aircraft engine, but not the one from the Bugatti aircraft itself, which used two mounted end-to-end.

This one has two side-by-side on one crankcase, sort of an H-16, concocted by some American fellow whose name escapes me.

 

You got it

 

Rich. Is the first inline 6 a Studabaker? Page 1

 

Yes. That's pretty much it for my wierd engine stash. I will throw in one more but it's pretty famous. Been pictured by others here before which is where I copped the picture. Well since I'm here I'll throw in some easy ones. The yellow one in the background is my Plymouth 4 cylinder flathead. We are not guessing on that.

 

Yes, it really is an automobile engine.

 

Gahhh, Lloyd is good enough....

 

How about a name that engine with that head? We already did the block I think

 

This is a piston engine devoloped by the USA at the end of WW2.At full power it used over 500 gallons of gas per hour, What is it?

 

Guffey, I'm really interested in your Offy-like four banger. It appears to be water cooled with the cylinder fins as an extra, 4-valve and with dual ignition. Are those Winfield carbs? I've no idea what it is. Can you tell us something about it?

Shake

 

Truckedup, I believe that monster motor is a Lycoming XR-7755.

 

Close, but no.

Its a rare 41 Ambassador "600" series 177 cid flathead 6

 

Yup,the largest displacement piston aircraft engine,probably the largest gas engine used in anything that moves.

 

What did it go on?

 

It was devoloped late in WW2,but no aircraft at that time needed such a large engine.Running examples made 5000 hp with 7000 hp possible .Just after the war the Lycoming 7745(cubic inches) was scheduled for use in the B-36 6 engine bomber.But politics prevailed and the B-36 was powered by 6 P&W 4360 air cooled radials of about 3500 hp each.Not enough power for such a giant plane.It was water cooled,36 cylinders arranged in 9 banks of 4 cylinders each.
Studabaker supposedly had even a larger engine,nearly 9000 cubic inches,but none ever were actually ran.

 

Ford X8... experimental precurser to the flathead.

 

Here is another.

 

The above looks like a Willys F head. Here is an earlyer picture of the Banger I posted couple months ago
