Inlines tend to develop max HP at lower RPMs, so they're better at lugging, v8s are better at higher speeds.

Anyone who has had say Ford PU's with the 300 ci inline 300 and with the 302 v-8 knows this very well. All other things being equal, the 300 will pull out if a hole that will kill the 302, the 302 will outrun the 300 on the highway - until you hit a good grade.

The big diesels are the same, inlines preferred. Although the inlines do seem to develop power over a narrower band so good gearing is your friend.
