#1 Yes, Chevy did have a 262. I saw it listed this past weekend in a
book I loaned to Tom Fisher. It was from the mid-seventies.
#2 Ford made a 351 Windsor and 351 Cleveland. The 351M is a modified
Cleveland. I think the actual displacement is different, it might be
352, and they did not want to confuse it with the earlier 352 engine.
#3 Add the 428 to the Pontiac List.
#4 Add 350, 400, 425 and 455 to Olds.
#5 I think Ford also made a 462 based on the FE engine (same as 390,
427, 428 etc).

re: Oldsmobile engines
The 372 and 394 are the same family, but is a different engine than the
350, 400, 425 and 455 family.

The 262 was a V-8, the straight six engines are 230 and 250 CID.

| Chrysler "LA" family includes 273,318,340 and 360's
the "B" family includes 361,383,400 and 413. The
"RB"(raised block" would include the 426 (wedge) and 440
and then, of course, the "modern" HEMI is 426.

| Re .5 Chevy did have a 292 straight six also. It was grossly
oversquare, with a very long stroke. Made lots of low end torque! I
think they dropped it in the early 70's.

| Buick did their "nail valve" V8 (the one with the horizontal, rather than canted
at 45 degrees, valve covers) in 1954, I think, at 322 cubes. I know that engine
also came in 401 and 425 inch sizes, but was there something between 322 and 401?
In '67 they did a completely new 400, followed by a 430 and 455 in that family.
They also did a 300 (and 330, I think) V8, but I have no idea whether that was
related to anything else.
Olds had a 330, but, again, I have no idea whether that engine was a part of a
family.
How about the Cadillac that started in '49?

I just can't seem to remember correctly, did the grand
sports have a 377 or 372? Inquiring minds want to know.
The poster from mid america should tell all, as would
any book about corvette racing in the sixties.

Re. 7 Harry, your sort of right. I remember the chevy sixes starting
at 192 cu in (found in the 63 ish chevy II's) then the 230, 250 &
292's. The 230's were put in the 64 chevy II SS's as an option.
The 230 & 250's were used as a truck motor until the 292 was introduced
in the mid - late 60's (67 I think). The 230 & 250's have been around
since before the 292's.
Re. 8 Caddilac motors of late were the 472 & 501 cu in. The 501's
can be found in the FWD early to mid 70's eldo's and even rarer in
the comprible Olds Toronados. Not sure of the motors started in the
late 40's. A trip through a Hemmings should produce all sorts of
information.
Don't forget the aluminum buick 215 cu in v8. don't think it belongs
in a 'family' per se, but definately worth acknowledgement. buick
also made a motor around the 325 cu in they "offically" dubbed their
Wildcat engine - only to be replaced one or two years later by more
cubes.

Bruce,
The 332 - 428 Ford is the FE family of big blocks. Distinguished
by a deep skirt design, and very narrow cylinder heads, and shaft
mounted rockers.
BTW, these also came in 360 (Ford truck from 71-76), 410 (Mercury
Full sizes), and 361 (Edsel) cube displacements.
The other FE derived engine family is the FT series. These were found
in large trucks and industrial applications.
Displacements were 330, 359, 391, 427.
You totally forgot the MEL series of Fords, the 430 (58 - ?) and 462
(Lincoln)
The proper name for the Cleveland family (351C, 351 Boss, 351CJ/HO)
is the "335" series
Similarly, the current big block family (429, 460 passenger/light
truck) and 370, 429 (heavy trucks) is the "385" series. It's also
known as the Lima family, after the location of the assembly plant.

Bruce,
Poncho also made a 301 cube V-8 (emissions era pig) *and* a full tilt
303 cube to compete in Trans-am and fall under the 305 inch maximum.
I've also seen reference to Ponchos in the 316 cube displacement.
Also, my college-daze Chrysler Saratoga had a 383 "high deck"
motor. Not sure about the particulars, but very few, if
any parts interchanged with a later 383. Apparently it was
a longer stroke (and higher deck height) and smaller bore motor.

322, 364(1957), 401(1959), 425(1964)
Also similar in design and introduced around 1964
300 (aluminum heads in 64, cast iron after that)

New family of big block V8 introduced in 1967 to replace nail-head V8

| There are a couple of engines I have to check on as to whether they were
hemi or poly combustion chamber designs, however, the blocks were the same
and the heads were interchangeable within the specific carlines.
Chrysler hemi engines were the largest (longest and widest), DeSoto was
next and Dodge was the smallest. Plymouth never had a hemi.
The first wedge engines were the 350 cid examples found in the high
performance Dodge, DeSoto, Plymouth (Christine) vehicles in the late '50s.
The early 318 type had scalloped valve covers and was rather wide. The
later version (derived from the 273 found in Valiants and Barracudas) is a
much smaller engine and can still be found in Dodge trucks. It is also the
engine ChryCo used as a basis for their V-6 engines that were introduced in
the first Dodge Dakota pick-ups.

| That Buick aluminium engine...
The 215 ci was (I believe) sold on to British Leyland.
The British market needed a lightweight V8 for its lighter cars.
The right-to-manufacture this engine was bought by BL cars. It is used
in Range Rover & Rover cars. Its since been enlarged to about 240 & is
still in production for Rover cars, Range Rovers & Land Rovers. It is
also found in MG cars (owned by BL at the time), notably the MGB V8.

| The flathead (side valve) Chrysler 3 7/16" six was used in Chryslers,
DeSotos, large Dodge trucks (not pick-ups)and industrial applications
from the late '30s right up into the '60s. The originals were in the 230 cid
range and the largest were 265 cid. Crank and rods were the only changes
over the years. The longer the stroke, the larger the displacement.
Bore size was always 3 7/16" so heads and gaskets are the same for all of
'em. Compression was bumped periodically from barely 6:1 to close to 8:1
The Plymouth and Dodge (and pick-ups) engine was smaller (shorter) and had
a "soft" crank. It was not as dependable as it's larger cousin. Aside
from the smaller dimensions, however, these engines looked identical to the
3 7/16" engines.

Another displacement in Ford's MEL series was the 383, used in late
fifties full sized Mercury.
Have the small block Ford 221, 260, and 255 (emissions era)
motors been mentioned?
Another member of the FE family was the awesome 427 SOHC motor.
Do you want to get into variations within engines, e.g. 390 2v, 4v,
6v??
Don't forget the Boss 429 and Boss 302.
Ford also built (in very limited quantities) a 494" motor for Can-Am
racing. Some found themselves bolted into the King Cobra (Torino) concept
vehicles, about 3 of which exist today. This engine falls into the
385/Lima/429, 460 family.
