I wouldn't do as well if the engines where out of the cars,with no accesories. Alternators become a giveaway,or tie breaker if you will. Remove them,paint all engines black and repeat the test.
I too was tipped off on the "dipstick",but it was at a car show about 30 years ago.
I got them all right, but I had a heads up on the dip stick location on a 348/409.
I don't think that's a sure way to tell nowadays. Maybe on a motor that's never been apart. Because the dipstick goes in the oil pan, not the block, a 409 pan can be put on a 348
Got 'em all. I kind of guessed on the 348 but I guessed right. They should have tossed in a 215 aluminum Buick, maybe a Studebaker V8 or a Packard. Interesting old stuff. Or even a Porsche DOHC V8 (that one would throw me off and I know of their existence). A BBB would be cool, too. I found it kind of easy - but I'm an old guy.
