They came with J-57's until the H models which had TF-33's (a variant of the JT-3) with short bypass ducts.

To me, the buff really wouldn't be the same if it was a plain old boring 4-blower...
I love to see those cockpit shots that show what appears to be a throttle lever forest underneath about a thousand engine parameters clocks...
I like to imagine an engine failure scenario:
-Hey Joe, we lost an engine!
-Uh,... Which one?
-Let me see, ...Uh, #6, I think...
-Oh, Ok. So how's your wife?
-Oh fine, thanks. Thanks for coming to dinner the other night!
-Sure, don't mention it..
...
Hey, maybe a B-52 pilot would tell me I'am not that off the LOC here...
Regards, all.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit posting...

Yeah at least if you are going to reengine the buff, keep it in a recognizable configurations.
How about 8 Tay's or BR715 engines, eh?
That way you keep that mean 8 hole look.
There was a joke that was going around about a B-52 declaring an engine out emergency. Some crackpot got on the radio and asked, "What the hell are you complaining about, you have 7 others!"
OBAMA-WORST PRESIDENT EVER....Even SKOORB would be better.

L188: the variation I heard on that was that a fighter pilot was told that he needed to circle for a while because a B-52 had lost an engine and needed to land directly, and the fighter pilot responded "Ah, yes, the dreaded seven-engine approach!"
