I have to respectfully disagree with you. I have had v-8s run on one bank. And run surprisingly well. In fact, years ago they used to take Ford small block v-8s and modify one cylinder head to be an air compressor and leave the other side as an engine. So you had a 4 cylinder, gas air compressor. They used to mount them on tire service trucks. They actually worked quite well.he only has fuel on one bank,.,. v8 wont run on 4 holes.
