well its a two way street. the motor has a little less ci and a straight line injection pump. from what i have been told they perform just as well as the 3208. also alot of people like to call them as others have stated throw away enigines. i really don't know why people feel this way with these engines, we have 4 new holland combines from tr-70 to tr-96, 96 is turbo charged, and they all have the 3208 and besided the usually oil and filter change we have never had any problems with these motors. we also have a 4-210 and our biggest problem with it is the silinoid goes out alot. we have had injector problems once but as far as i can remember we have never overhauled any of our v-8 cats and the one has well over 4,000 hrs and we have just placed it in our 2255.
