I seemed to miss the question about size yesterday.

I'd say that overall height wise the two will be fairly similar, the V6 might even be a tad taller. The V8 will obviously be longer (1 more cylinder per bank with bigger bore spacing) and probably a touch wider (the heads on an OHV don't stick out as far as OHC heads do, but the V8 would also have a taller deck sticking out at 45 degrees from vertical rather than just 30 off.
