Nothing sounds better than a V8 with duals. There's just something special about them. Henry hated sixes which was good enough for me. I have 2 V8s and I hated sixes from childhood all my long life until I bought one. It is in a 49 F-1. It runs great, the blocks don't crack, they don't overheat or vapor lock and it always starts. It just doesn't sound as good. 6 is OK!
