Cott,
       You have the right reading on the later fours, sixes, eights, V-sixes, 
V-eights, etc. being classified by cubic inches and fuel used only. For the 
Vintage Engine group the Ford V-8 group goes 1932 to 1953(production engines 
only), the Vintage 4-cylinder group covers pre-1935, and the XO group covers 
OHV and flathead inline, V-12's, V-16's, flathead V-8's (other than Ford & 
Mercury), American engines of 325ci or less produced prior to 
1960........................Ardun Doug King
