Re: why do so many like 6 cly over v8

their awesome thats why!!
ive got some vids of a 292 with open headers and dual cherry bombs make a unique sound, that usually gets it more attention then a v8 exh. because no one could figure out what the motor was.
yeah they can be more expensive to hop up, but if your patient u can find used perf. parts cheap, ive got shorty headers on mine and i found 2 1bbl carbs that were used on a dual carb set up that im installing this winter. does it make as much hp as a v8? nope,.. but ive won every tow/tug a war contest so far(even beat a 4x4 92 cummins!), these motors make torque loooow!!
but it all depends what are u looking for?
