Not sure what model but the 8 placed on top of the V. Not a stick on type but pinned, otherwise a trip out to Rare Spares.

Been looking a long time for a Cummins 903 but they are like rocking horse sh*t to find.

Lamentably, I have had no success on the badge hunt so far... I did see a '56 pickup grille with a big V8 in the centre... Not sure that will cut the mustard though.

I took a photo n uploaded it to the gallery, but be buggered if I can attach it to the post.

This is a badge I spotted on eBay years ago, just loved the look of it.
At the time I didn't know what it was from, but knew it was going into my display cabinet.
Off a 64 Plymouth Barracuda.

Looks like a bus ride out to Rarespares in Blacktown during the week.

Marine? I know what you mean, but with boats the water is the muff dog. My boat, flushing it on the trailer, it sounds like anus, loud as crap but kinda an improvement on the v6 commodore game. Yeah it's a v6 but a 4.3L. In the water it sounds way less and better. Being a 2003, no cats or anything like that. Its factory and has a sticker to say it was california legal emmissions when new, makes zero sense as it was make in victoria but i guess that was just a thing for the rebadged vortec chev v6 thats in it.

Nothing like the sound of a marine 8V or 6V Detroit.
