Just to let you know, I love old skool V8s. I actually love the whole old skool hot rod culture. I don't think there is anything sexier than a 401 Buick Nailhead in a 1960 Le Sabre, or a sweet finned Flathead in a '50 Merc. Those obviously dont make as much power as other V8s and many other engines, but I think they are works of art. I personally just dont think all the wire harnesses and fuel injectors and such on turboed imports are anywhere near as rahd looking as a chromed and finned Nailhead or Flathead. I love 'em!
edit:
Here are some pictures of a sweet Flathead.

You may or may not like it, but I know I think it looks sweet. How about we get some pics up of our favorite motors?
