I haven't experienced how DOD runs in cars, but we have V12 turbo diesel engines at work for marine applications and when they shut down 6 cylinders when idling and not in gear the vibration really gives the engine mounts a good workout.

It would be easy to keep it smooth on a V8 as you just run the pistons in sets of 4. 4 working, 4 not working, and with the piston configuration of a V8 it will still stay balanced.
