cross-flow vs g60

[drew at scirocco.cs.uoguelph.ca (Drew MacPherson)]

I can't speak for everyone else, but personally I'd go the 8V route simply
because you can't bolt a turbo diesel exhaust manifold to a 16V head, and
I'm "keep it under budget" Drew.

YMMV, but mine's pretty consistently 55mpg imp... :)
