This guy built this V8 bike and got it licenced here in Western Australia. It is all motor and rear fuel tank. It sounds and looks amazing.

i guess you could use "amazing" in its discription.    :P  ha but really, at least he can put something like that together and not have it look like that cb750 auto chopper.  Do you know what kind of 8 it is?  id say small ford from its valve covers, but i cant see the distributor.

I agree it is ingenious if he did it himself but they have had V8 motorcycles here in the US for 15 years now... Google BOSS HOSS.

Since I am a Ford guy I'd take a 5.0 302.. or damn if they could put a 4.6 (damn wide) motor... I'd hit it!!! talk about a heavy bike though... you lay that thing down, you'd never get it back up...

Both the pictures are Chevy motors. Note the siamesed exhaust on the header. 2+3 exhaust ports are together as on a chevy.

It's great to see the old Ford-Chevy rivalry on this forum.  That's great because while you two bicker, Mopar will sneak up and smoke both your asses!

Egil,

Like someone said earlier, your english is a whole lot better than my norwegian. Don't sweat it, we understand you fine.

Yeah, you got me there. Just a friendly poke from the old days when they still made real ones (Pontiacs).  Actually, all the old american muscle is really cool. I envy you guys who still own any of them. Technically, our SOHCs are Hemis too....

I guess I still choose the good ol 350. If the hemi was soo good why did it take 30 years for it to come BACK!!! It dies and now dodge thinks that by just dragging the name through the mud, they will sell more?
