The 8 engine is quite easy to differentiate from the Big 7, the water outlet on the side is much shorter. On the Big 7 it is nearly the length of the engine, on the 8, perhaps less than half that.
The two types of engine are often muddled up on eBay....
Apparently, the 8 had a reputation for burning valves, probably a combination of the valve timing changes and the leaded pool petrol.
