I ran #6 copper through 1-1/2" pvc, 24" deep trench for about 100'. My inspector passed that with flying colors. I ran the wire through each 8' section of pvc and then once all wire was through the pvc, I then glued the pvc ends together one at a time in the trench. Trying to run #6 wire through a already glued pvc would be really, really difficult.
You had better contact your inspector to make absolutely sure on the #8 wire.

I'd much prefer to glue first, then pull. If you glue with wire there you may have glued the wire to the pipe and cannot easily pull it out if at all. If it's too tough to pull, use a larger size of pipe and/or use lube.
I ran 3 strands of 1-o plus a smaller ground through 100' of 2" for my shop. Tied a string to a plastic grocery bag, shop vac'd it through, then tied a rope to that then finally the wire.
