cross-flow vs g60

[sad_rocc at yahoo.com (Dan Smith)]

As I read the newest mail first, I'm not sure how my question turned to this but here are my reasons for an 8v.
1. Simplier. Teaching myself everything from how to change the oil on up, I need simplicity
2. Cheaper. I'm a college student and the idea of parts being half the cost and 2x as common is great.
3. Because I can. I'm going to make a fast, powerful 8v because I like to be different. Everyone does 2L 16v swaps, euro lights, euro bumpers, yadda yadda. I think Patrick and I will be the only 2L 8v swap people.

Being that I have both engines in my cars, I like em' both. I like the
16v for it's stock power and decent high end and I like the 8v for it's
down low power which can be very fun in the twisties. Not to mention,
but the 8v's are just better setup for modding the piss outta them. 
There is actually room to put things like turbo's and whatnot without
creating a really tight area that will build up a ton of heat. Don't
get me wrong, there is still a space issue, but no where near as much as
on the 16v.

To put it mildly, they both have their good/bad points, it all boils
down to personal preference. I for one enjoy them both and don't look
down my nose at anything. I only look at honda's in my rearview. :)
