So sick of the V8 or die guys...

Since your V-8 buddies have a Mopar, they are already outside the box. Maybe they would be happier in a Camaro with 350 and Edelbrock carb. Aren't those rare at car shows? I have a slant, SB, & BB and satisfied with all three. At car shows, I have been drawn to a Studebaker Lark, V-6 Sunbeam, ..., but then I love the Wheeler Dealers show. Your friends probably prefer Foss cars.
