My inclination is that it would be tight but doable since I have no checked luggage and will not need to go back through security or check-in (will be on mobile).
You will need to go through security at T8 as the airtrain is landside. If theres any delay you are SOL, I would not recommend this.
Also, its appropriate to add that DL's JFK T4 concourse is insanely long. If your plane parks at a gate towards the end, it could take a while to walk towards the terminal exit.
