don’t have any digital pics of my first truck i owned with its fire breathing 135hp 305 SB. i miss it more than any of my other cars. nothing can replace that first love, and its gobs of torque and insatiable thirst for gas. good thing gas cost less than $1.00 back then. man im old. ---

There’s nothing wrong with a few men gathering and discussing the beauty and performance of 8 cylinder motors. Let’s try to stay civilized and on-topic, it’s nice to know you guys all bicker about me but this is not the place. PM me if you want to discuss issues, post if you love a good v8. ---

![http://www.v8sho.com/SHO/images/engine/shov8-04.jpg](http://www.v8sho.com/SHO/images/engine/shov8-04.jpg) Here’s an SHO V8. Compared to the Yamaha V6, it is sad to see the V8 be the underdog (in many cases). This is why we need carbonation to come back…these smaller displacement slophouses will fail to the 4 barrel. ---
