[QUOTE="oilwell1415, post: 9671974, member: 58424"] There are a lot of things that have to be considered to get to the 90 degree number. With a V8, 90 degrees works well because a cylinder fires every 90 degrees. This allows for a smooth running engine. It also allows more room for the cam in the valley. A 90 degree V also prevents the bottom portions of each cylinder from interferring with each other. Other considerations are width vs height. 90 degrees typically produces the best compromise without making the engine either two tall or too wide. It all boils down to physically needing to fit all the parts of the engine in it while not using up any more space than needed. [/QUOTE]
