dtrace discuss - Jun 2008 - [Trivia question] What engine is it on DTrace T-shirt ?

Hi,

This is not a DTrace technical question (so, please don''t flame me for 
it) :)

This is regarding the DTrace (un)conference TShirt.
I am curious to know what engine is it. Could not figure it out.

Thanks and regards,
Sanjeev.

Do you have a picture? The only picture I''ve seen is a ridiculously
small picture of a banner for the conference with then engine. The oil pan looks
like what was on my dad''s Olds Cutlass RS (8 quart!). but
that''s about all I can see. Looks like an american v8 from a rear wheel
drive application.

It is a chevy engine you can tell by the shape of the exhaust manifolds. very
hard to get the spark plugs out.
Also the front strait up distributor is small block chevy.

The picture I have is blurred. Can''t tell much of anything else

Small block chevys have the dist in the rear.

 From this, hard to see, picture:

http://blogs.sun.com/ahl/entry/dtrace_conf_post_post_mortem

it looks like a Ford Windsor to me.

reasons:

1) dist in the front
2) water neck mounted to the front of the intake
3) water pump looks like a Ford unit
4) starter on the right side
5) dip stick in the front

better picture anyone?

Wow -- impressive!  Now, for some "Where''s Waldo?"-esque fun,
can you find
where Todd Patrick (the artist, cc:''d) hid "Sun" in there? ;)

Thanks a ton to Thomas and everyone who responded !

Now, I need to go back and start peering at the TShirt to spot Sun :)

Maybe a Cleveland....?

Nope, positively not a Cleveland.

I have one in my Pantera, and I know what to look for :-)

1) The Cleveland has a "dry" intake. The water neck attaches to the 
block just in front of the intake.
2) The valve covers are different and with a different number of bolts
3) The Cleveland has the timing chain chamber cast in the block, while 
the Windsors have it separate
4) The valley pan rail gaskets are symmetrical on a Cleveland
5) The oil pan has a hump for the oil pump on a Cleveland

It can not be a 302 Boss either, as even though it has a Windsor block, 
it has the Cleveland heads
so item 2 above eliminates that possibility.
