    this has got to be a trick question, right. :Dou:


    "8" is the number of cylinders.

    "V" is the configuration of the block. some alternative block configurations would be straight / "I"-8, radial or boxer / horizontally opposed.

    yeah, i know i'm taking a serious risk here ( oh noes, the interweb ego pain! ) by giving him the straight line ... but maybe he really doesn't know? :idea2:


    so all you all's can go ahead and give any punch line you can come up with; i can take it. :laugh:

    I give up..................what does THAT mean?

    Your V8 question has been answered several times in this thread (the answer is 8 by the way). Anybody that knows anything at all about engines would know the answer. So what is your point in all the smart comments? Just curious. :laugh:

    I was about to post pretty much the same thing. Unless this is a test for the kids on the short bus, it's some kind of a joke, but a joke with out a punch line pretty much takes us back to the same little bus.

    Didn't say anything was wrong with it. They don't let you lick the windows on the big bus.

    A few years ago there was this 1950 Buick for sale here in the Netherlands, the seller said in the advertisement that the car had a "V8 inline engine"....:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
