I agree with bcp. I think it was the pontiac 389. One bank used to create the 195 CID 4 banger for the 1962 Tempest. Ford did have a V4 in the early 60's but I think it was derived from the Cologne V6.

It was made by Pontiac. It still laid 0n its side & looked just like a v8 had been cut i 1/2.

Next quetion

A 1, 2 or 4 cylinder engine have a problem that 3 or more cylinders can cure o correct. ?????

I was going to take a WAG at the Pontiac. I vaguely recalled a slant 4.

Vibration.

1962 Pontiac Tempest with its "rope drive" transaxle. Same car with the "half-a-389".

Who made a 350 ci V6? I owned one so I'm sure of one correct answer.

Might that be a GMC? They made a bunch of large V6's for trucks, from around 300+ to 400+ cu. in.

What was the name of Matt Dillon's horse???

What was the name of Matt Dillon's horse???

That is a "tricky" question He rode several different horses in the years the show was on. But I will let others take a crack at this one.

Might be a trick question. Having grown up in this era, I watched the early half-hour shows and absorbed every bit. I am nearly certain I never heard a horse's name. And yes, he did ride different horses.

Here's one: Was Chester a deputy?

Chester was NOT a deputy.

Chester had a fan club, 1 Thing they were doing was collecting $$$ to get his leg operated on. Did he need an operation???

On most of the programs Matt rode 1 favorite horse, it was a big buck skin.
Dish Channel 342 is replaying the old black & white Gun Smokes that is where I learned the horses name.
Channel 106 is replaying the 1 hour color series.

Dillon's "main" horse was a TV star in his own right. What other series did he regularly appear and what character was his rider??

John Wayne road the same or similar horse in many of his movies. But don't think that is what you are talking about.

The Rifle Man had a big ring lever action rifle as did Steve McQueen in bounty hunter.
Winchester made or may still make them.

But was that the start of the big ring lever????

Marshall Dillon rode Buck on Gunsmoke and after it ended Ben Cartwright rode Buck on Bonanza.

 

[Paul N]

It can't be. Gunsmoke and Bonanza were on at the same time.

 

[vtsnowedin]

It can't be. Gunsmoke and Bonanza were on at the same time.

But not filmed at the same time.

Lets have some fun for a while.

What car company took a large v8 engine, basically cut it in 1/2 to make a 4 cylinder engine????

I don't know if it was made by Pontiac but my boss when I was in high school had an IH with a cut in half v8. It was upright, not laid on its side. He got a good laugh at my jaw dropping when he opened the hood. Looked just like someone made it at home with a Sawzall and welded a plate on.
