V8's all had a V8 logo on the front fenders, near the door jambs. More than likely, not to down your win or anything, you raced a 6

For every one V8 Explorer out there, there are probably 5 V6s.

or the 4.0L OHC engine, ya a little different the the regular 4.0L ford engine, but makes alot more power, i think it makes real close the the v8. but anyways good kill, some of the SUV's do have some acceleration
