Yay 234789024 year old engine technology

 

Yep. Just like the Corvette, proving pushrods can still kick your ass.

 

Can't deny something that works.....

 

Build me the exact same engine with pushrods and DOHC, see which one makes more power and is more efficient. The pushrod engine wins ease of manufacturing and cost, and that's about all its good for.

The only good corvette engine was the LT5 in the C4 ZR1, all aluminum high comp DOHC V8 engineered partially by lotus. They showed GM the way, and GM went right back to ancient shit because they're cheap. Except for the northstar, which as we all know is the true powerhouse of GM engines.


side note: fuck the H button on this shitty keyboard.

 

Yeah, go ahead and talk shit to the new Corvettes about their pushrods. Better yell real loud, though, because they'll be a long way ahead of you.

Theres nothing wrong with pushrods. If you're looking to squeeze every ounce of power out of your ride, go with solid roller.

 

There was nothing wrong with pushrods when they first came into use as man attempted to outrun dinosaurs. But like I said, build an engine with pushrods, and build the same engine with DOHC, and tell me which makes more power. It'll be the DOHC every time. I don't dislike the corvette because I think its slow, I dislike it because it could have been faster. I understand GM cuts costs like every major car company must do to make money, doesn't mean I have to agree with it.

Either way I know you're just jealous that my engine has DOHC and 5 valves per cylinder and outputs more than 12 BHP/L

 

Agree with it or not. The engines make great power for very little cost. Id rather have an ancient 600hp car than one that makes great hp/l and still runs 15s

 

But I will say that the new 5.0 in the mustang does prove that DOHC is the jam

 

Only took them 80 years to figure it out too.

 

Still The LS family is a great engine series. Not current technology by any means, but regardless. They are impressive
