No modern v-8 ever sounded as cool as a split six through glasspacks and full tailpipes, cruising along, cackling going downhill, and barking all the way up again !
Next coolest sound is a flathead with cast headers, and glasspacks.
They maybe a bit more costly to build, but they do draw a crowd.
Especially with multiple carbs and lots of chrome and polished aluminum.
I'll keep the modern engines in my daily driver though, convenience is convenience.
