I wasn't discouraging anybody, I was say hey if you want to polish a turd, go for it, but in the end it'll still be a turd. Instead of pulling push rods and file camshaft lobes, you'd be better off pulling the whole engine out and putting a smaller 4cyl engine in with a forced induction. Voila, you have a 4cyl engine with max hp output of a v8, that will still get 4cyl gas mileage.
