15^2 = 225
16^2 = 256 (part of binary sequence)
17^2 = 289 (like the Ford engine)
18^2 = 324
19^2 = 361 (like the early Mopar engine)
20^2 = 400
21^2 = 441
22^2 = 484
23^2 = 529
24^2 = 576
25^2 = 625

...et cetera.
"like the early Ford/Mopar engine" part tickled my funny bone. Can anyone else help fill these in?

Didn't Dodge have a 225 slant 6?
