Going into 5th with only 4 gears

V8's are so played.

Slant six with side drafts and six in a row velocity stacks.

That, or a straight eight.

Or a rotary engine.

Got 2 1926 Dodges with that in mind...slant with 3 'dual Weber' style injection throttle bodies in one, turbo'd slant in the other :-)
