I saw something on speed about toyota going to TRD to design the new engine for their race car. I don't see why those rednecks don't allow new engines to enter, maybe cause they bitch and cry about getting spanked and thats why they never want to upgrade. Now whether or not they borrowed the design from Ford I don't know because I really don't care. Now as far as the new Tundra having an old pushrod engine. I dont think so according to the Toyota website. It also wouldn't make sense considering they already have a great design.

All the 3 options for engines are DOHC.
Toyota.com : Vehicles : Tundra : Specifications
Nascar Engine are far more advanced then you think.
Why is a Pushrod engine outdated, as far as i can see there is no disadvantage.
A car doesn't need a computer to make it faster.
