I used the same black foam that Mark S.  described.  3/4" on firewall and 1/2" on side & bottom sheetmetal in the -8.  The -8 is significantly quieter than my -4 (which has some but not nearly as much of that foam.  I applied it with 3M contact cement.

I asked a few days ago and got no replies. Since things are a bit slow on the list now I'll try again. Anyone have any recommendations for a decent soundproofing material that I can add to my firewall and floorboards to tame this racket? Maybe the rest of the world will have to deal with the noise, but at least I can try to make it a little more pleasant for me.
