The real reason most commercial engines are inline architecture vs "V" is actually simply due to cost! 1 cyl head vs 2 1 set of inlet & exhaust manifolding 90deg boring/honing (vs 2 x 45deg ie you don't have to move your block or re-axis your honing machine to do the "other" side) simpliifed cam drive Generally not much constraint on engine length for packaging (ladder chassis with overhead cabs) Typicallly large capacity relatively low specific output which means under square bore/stroke dimensions, requires a long rod

Select a cam that produces a suitable power profile for the application. Forced induction is a multiplier. The power profile will look the same, just elevated with the extra air and fuel. Blowers are ok until a person tries to go wicked extreme then they spend all their time trying to sort out belt slip.

@@theskidfactory "Soft metal from China" is the popular answer. Guys will set them up well, do the break-in, and then get valve noise. Open the motor up and the cam looks great, but one or more lifters will be absolutely destroyed and sending metal through the entire fresh build. I can think of a few KZbin engine builds in the last year where bad lifters scrapped brand new engines. Happened to Uncle Tony's Garage, Chris Birdsong, and a few others I can't remember. Both of those guys switched to roller cam setups after that. The comments in all of those videos (taken with a grain of salt, I get it) are full of guys claiming to have the same problems. It doesn't appear to follow manufacturer or brand. There's a suspicion that there is some faulty heat treatment at what must be the "one" place that does it for all of the companies. The problem with heat treating is that to test it you destroy the part, so you can't even check for yourself.

Scania is the only truck manufacturer left that you can buy brand new with a v8. Their biggest is 770hp and 3700nm at 1800 rpm. Caterpillar, Detroit diesel, Mack, kenworth, and peterbuilt used to all offer v8 engines for trucks but EURO emissions standard compliance has shut all that down. It’s weird, because once you go above the 15-20L engine capacity, pretty much everything in 4 stroke becomes v8’s, v12’s, or v16’s because inline 6’s can’t make enough power. In marine applications, we use almost exclusively V style engines in 4 strokes. Large shipping uses inline engines but that’s a different ballgame all together (imagine a straight 16 cylinder the size of an apartment building) My current boat has two 3000ish hp MTU4000 series v12’s as the main propulsion engines, and three MTU2000 series v8’s for generators. Our backup emergency generator is an in-line 6 Perkins. Even our 25 foot tender is a Yanmar v8. V8 diesels move the world.
