I don’t think the pushrod V8 is going anywhere. Dodge is constantly working on new V8s. They are rumored to be working on a new 426 Hemi. Even Ford is rumored to be working on a new pushrod V8. They are building a new 7.3 gas V8 for the trucks.
If GM abandons the pushrod small block, it’s not because they can’t make them anymore. Dodge certainly has no problem making big power out of theirs. What’s even more frustrating is GM has mastered the small block and has a substantially larger budget to work with. If Dodge can make a new pushrod 7.0 liter and Ford can come back to a 7.3 pushrod V8, GM of all companies should have no issue doing the same.
