    Betcha can't identify all 3 of these rarely-seen engines I saw at recent shows.
    I'll reveal the answer later.
    If you get them all right, you get one "attaboy".

    (hint: they are all in the cars they originally came from the factory in, and they're all American made.

    You guys are amazing! Hank37 got the Crosley right within 5 minutes of my post. Within 8 minutes, Heathen got all three right!
    Attaboy, Heathen. How'd you know them all? I never woulda got'em right if I hadn't seen the cars. Cord and Studebaker were'nt bad guesses either.
    Thanks everybody.

    It comes from years of staring at everything I could find that dealt with old cars.

    OK, put on your thinking caps. Here's a difficult one.
    Hint: it's from an American concept car, 16 valves, 335 h.p.

    Virgil got it, but forget the picture. The specs are for a 1968 Plymouth Roadrunner. It had a four-speed manual transmission and a 383-cubic-inch V8, 16-valve engine. With 335 gross horsepower.
    What do I win?

    Why would anyone hang that ugly alternator on that supercharged Kaiser?

    Are the exhaust rockers mounted longitudinally? Look at that wicked angle on the intake p/rod to rocker... cool schematic.
