RE: Favorite V-8

why buick sold that motor was odd as it was only pulled from production last year or so, I think it did not sell well in the states due to the aluminum heads as people thought they wouldn't last, but that motor ended up in everthing even the mg miget RV8 which is a super small by us standards. Buick loss was British Leylands gain.

It is also the standard British engine for all hot rod use and special versions powered the Formula 1 winning Brabham team. Itâ€™s not surprising therefore that in 2005 Engine Technology International magazine and journalist Keith Read voted it â€œ the greatest engine of all timeâ€. http://www.pistonheads.com/news/defa...?storyId=13228
