As far as heavy-duty diesels go, a V-8 will rarely take as much abuse as an inline 6. The V-8 crankshaft only allows for 5 main bearings, and you've got two connecting rods on each rod journal. Let's not forget that the 550's exhaust system made it possible to install twin M&W turbochargers, creating even more stress. The 68 series was basically a marketing gimick.
