The V8 engine was added to fill the kit box and provide an alternate building version.  It's a not-too-detailed engine with characteristics of small-block Chevy (oil filter location), small-block Mopar (front cover and water pump look like other MPC engines) and Ford (exhaust port spacing).  The stock version of these Dodge Daytona kits is actually pretty decent.  The earlier the kit you can find, the better: the later hidden-headlamp versions have raised detail on the front fascia that should be recessed (Pentastar emblem, etc) while the earliest ones are very good all around.
