anything appreciated. thx
Answers:
Where the heck can I find that part name from.?
Yes, they call this a V because 4 cylinders are on the left and 4 are on the right, not really a V shape but who the hell knows what people were thinking in the 50's. There is also such a thing as a straight 6 or 8. This means that all cylinders are on the same side of the motor (mostly found in European automobiles).General Motors OnStar...Where in the U.S. does OnStar not connect with it's satalite?
yes v 8 means it has 8 cylinders and that the motor is in a v shape 4 cylinders per sideYes-you are correct that the # designates the amount of cylinders and the V shows the configuration of the cylinders. The V8 has 4 cylinders on each "bank" of the V shaped engine..There are also engine configurations that are inline ( cylinderin a column) and also opposed (flat design) cylinders. --FYI the good ol' muscle cars lend themselves to the V8, Loads of modern cars run inline 3-6 cylinder engines (supras, lexus, honda) and then you have the opposed engines(flat) such as the WRX, alot of porsches. hope that helps ya out!
Yes. Likewise, V6 = six cylinders, EFI = Electronic Fuel Injection, DX = Dealer Exaggerated (just kidding), ect...

The V in V8 stands for the displacement of the cylinders, in this case meaning the cylinders are place in a "V" shape, sticking out of the engine. The 8 stands for the number of cylinders, and it is possible to have V-4, V-6, V-8, V-10, V-12 and even a Cadillac with V-16!More Questions & Answers ...
