15 out of 17. One of them I missed was the Pontiac 389. Pretty weird because my first car back in '68 was a '66 GTO. Go figure.

G'day,

17 out of 17, not bad for an Aussie who's not used to seeing these engines every day! I put it down to decades of reading Hot Rod and not just Corvette magazines. Plus being a Steward with ANDRA, where some of these engines are still run in some cars.

Regards from Down Under
