Pushrod Heritage IN YOUR FACE ford!
I love that GM is still pushing the two valve per cylinder architecture. I wish they had kept the V6 a pushrod engine. I think the 4.3l should have been utilized in the Sixth Generation. Anybody know if the next generation Challenger will be a pushrod engine? Albeit a two sparkplug per cylinder setup.

Well, if they go with direct injection im guessing there wont be any room for 2 sparkplyfs, or maybe 1 spark plug is all they need as they will be able to control fuel supply that much better.. But im really just guessing..

So why the whole "in your face Ford" thing?

Just tired of hearing the whole new GM isn't the old GM argument. They still make products that are true to their heritage While remaining a first rate product that routinely out performs Ford. Not to say Ford makes garbage, I really like the new GT Supercar. I'm just proud of the fact that here in 2015 future premium models are still utilizing technology that dates back to the fifties.

There is arguably more technology in the new LT-1 than the 5.0 ford motor.

Both companies produce great engines, they both do the job in different ways.
It's an advanced variant of the Coyote 5.0 that powers the Koenigsegg Agera.R, btw. |

The pushrod V6s could not develop the power that you need to be competitive in today's market with a V6. There is no way the 3800 could develop 300+ hp and 270+ ft/lbs of torque. It was maxed out at it's most possible at 210, 250 supercharged, when it was retired in 2008. Ok, so aftermarket parts can add maybe 30 hp.
The DOHC 3.6 will leave any 3800 in the dust, while returning better fuel economy and emissions. While the 6.2L in the Camaro and Corvette has it's roots in the old, venerable 5.7, the development of that engine is so advanced over the years to today that they're really not that closely related. They share the pushrod architecture and that's about it. |

Bizarre thread. I don't know why Ford would be sad about pushrods. That voodoo engine is sweet.

See post 2875. Never thought I'd see those guys admit the LS7 was a better track engine than the Voodoo FPC. http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/show...=7539&page=160
