Why have a V8 when one could have a Cummins B series?

I've been wanting to swap a 3.3 in for a few years now.

V8 sounds lovely, but the I6 is a better layout IMO.

Why stop at v8?!? Step up to a viper v10 or better yet, step up to a Mercedes v12, now that would get you all the chicks, and you'd be ballin my man!!!!!!

Child's play. Go with a W16 from a Bugatti Veyron. Now that's how you do it with style.
