Hey, I've always wondered how a Boeing 737-800 would look like if the 737 family kept the JT8D engines? But then with the winglets. What do you think of it? I think it would be pretty cool, but also a bit noisy

Well it would look strange! Those small round engines. :lol:
Lot more noisy as you say. Lot less efficient and therefore higher air fares. Lot more polluting and fuel consuming. & probably less safe.
Just looked it up. Going back to '68. Imagine a modern day bus with an old 1970 engine …. :lol:

Still. Interesting idea.
