I should most likely not get into this, I've had inline sixs from 1929 194 to 67 292 , I've owned 235's Chevy II 194's 1963 c 10 with a 250, and a 69 Tempest over head cam inline six and a 1954 Plymouth flat head I LOVE THEM, then I have had V8's 265,283,307, 327,and a diesel 6.2 Chevys, + Buick nail head, 57 Pontiac 347,and a Ford 302 +Mercury, some I liked most disliked ! To me basicly a V8 is what it is shaped like a BOAT ANCHOR, BILL
