Default Adding the max 8 values in a list

Hi there
I have a list of numbers that can be 80 numbers long in any order (they
could consist of only 1's, 2's or 3's). I need to add the highest 8 numbers
together. Is there a simple way to do this??
eg

1 1 0 1 2 2 0 3 3 0 3 3 3

Now I need it to give me a total of 20 (all the 3's, 2's and one 1)
