10 questions. He who answers all ten correct gets to post the next ten trivia questions.
Lets try and make this a real thinkers trivia, but not impossible to answer (i.e: the answers are out there if you look). Lets keep it mainly Ford trivia, however a couple of "non-ford" questions are ok. 1. "Cleveland" is actually the nick-name for this series of V8 engine. What is the official FoMoCo name for the "Cleveland" V8 series? 2. Project B52 was Allan Moffat's codename for the rebuild of his ex-works hardtop for an assault on Bathurst '74. Which airline shipped Project B52 to the USA? 3. In the early days of Ford Aus, Model T chassis and engines were imported by "dealers" and had locally made bodys fitted. However some dubious characters decided to sell these T's as their own cars. What was the name of one of the more famous imitators? 4. What is the largest engine ever avaliable in a Ford Falcon? (The answer is not as obvious as you think.) 5. Who provided the original engine management system for Ford's first EFi six which debut in the XE range? 6. This is an easy one. What did Henry Ford call Lew Bandt's Coupe Utility? 7. Before forming the Ford Motor Company in 1903, Henry Ford started and ran the Henry Ford Motor Company. This company ended up becoming which GM brand? 8. True or False. Henry Ford was presented the highest German award for a foreigner by Adolf Hitler. 9. In 1969, Al Turner commisioned a V8 Capri prototype. In the tradition of "Cobra" this car was also given a reptile name. What was the name given to the Capri? 10. The original Lincoln Continental was a one-of special designed by and built for which Ford family member?

4. Is that largest capacity or physically the biggest? If physically biggest I would guess the current Boss V8. And I assume you mean mass produced and not one offs like the Bill Bourke XW.

1. "Cleveland" is actually the nick-name for this series of V8 engine.
What is the official FoMoCo name for the "Cleveland" V8 series? A - 335 Series 2. Project B52 was Allan Moffat's codename for the rebuild of his ex-works hardtop for an assault on Bathurst '74. Which airline shipped Project B52 to the USA? A - Pan Am 4. What is the largest engine ever avaliable in a Ford Falcon? (The answer is not as obvious as you think.) A - 428 CJ 5. Who provided the original engine management system for Ford's first EFi six which debut in the XE range? A - Bosch I hope these are correct Opp's Clevo was 335, 385 was for 429 and 460 Cheers Mark

Racecraft - incorrect. Here's a clue, Henry called it "A *blank* Chaser".
Powdered Toast Man - Largest Capacity and mass produced cars not one-offs. Mark s has the most correct answers so far.

Mulberry Laine: Correct. Iguana was the name given to Ford Australia's 351 Windsor powered Capri prototype. Apparently it was a real Al Turner special. You had buckleys of getting the thing to stop and turn, but it was a real rocket in a straight line.

All right, all but one question has been correctly answer.
Answers: 1. 335 series 2. Pan Am - One of Moffats sponsors at the time. 3. Palm 4. 428ci Cobra Jet was avaliable in the US 1970 1/2 Falcon. 5. Bosch provided the engine management system for EFi x-flow. 6. Henry Ford called Lew Bandt's coupe utility "A Kangaroo Chaser" 7. The Henry Ford Motor Company would eventually become Cadillac. 8. This is somewhat false. He was awarded the Supreme Order of the German Eagle in 1938 but Mussolini got a diamond version making him the most prominent foreigner to get an award by Hitler. 9. The Australian 351 V8 Capri prototype was called "Iguana". 10. The original Lincoln Continental was designed by and built for Edsel Ford. I'll leave the floor open for new sets of questions.
