[V8] V8....what? Again!

[sdewitt@stx.rr.com]

The 928's dimensions are way larger than the 3.6. From a side by side 
comparison, the 3.6 and 4.2 are much more compact. Of course you can 
get 6.0 liters out of a 928 block using a custom crank and pistons 
whereas there is no room for increase on the V8 engine.
