Back in early '70s I leased on to a company that half the company trucks where inline 6I71 2-stroke. The others, 6V71. The worst of the I6s could out pull the best of V6s. Most of the owner operators had 8V71s Some of them could be passed by the best of the I6.
That's not inherent to "I" vs "V" that's because of the V6s were generally designed for cars/minivans where towing was not a priority, so they weren't worried about generating big torque numbers. Those vehicles generally didn't have an engine bay long enough to accommodate an "I" configuration.
False. Both the V-6, and I-6 I talk about where 2-stroke diesels built as truck or industrial engines back when the line was Detroit Diesel makes the engines by the mile, will cut off what you want. My '67 Pete, had a 12V71. (Buzzin' Dozen) At least 1 tugboat working the river had a pair of 16V71s I hauled a gen-set powered by inline 8, I assume it was 71) Most of the engines had CID of 71 inches per cylinder
So basically irrelevant to a discussion of modern 4 stroke passenger vehicle engines.
Had to go back thru, read that responding to somebody's statement
Only if "all else is equal"...which of course, it never is
by making a statement about where things pretty much ALL ELSE EQUAL, and the inline did the job better than the V.
