I think you are safe. The liberal left is out for all of our engines there isn't a law he could quote that would not harm his own interests.
I believe most of us have owned more V8s & V6s than inline sixes. That is part of what makes this fun and of special interest. Of the 6 registered vehicles in my yard 5 have V8s and 4 are SBC. One is scheduled to be replaced by a 292.
