My favorite engines are the Ford Coyote which are OHC and the Ecoboost V6 that they put in the Ford GT and the F150 pickup trucks.My point is,as obsolete as people think pushrod engines are,including myself,one holds the world's record for speed as the fastest car.You then have the world's fastest Sedan which which is the Dodge Challenger Hellcat which is a pushrod hemi.This begs the theory,sometimes old technology usurps the latest and greatest.
Turntables and records are a prime example of this. Of course,the pushrod engines now possess the new technologies such as direct injection,cylinder deactivation,all while getting as good or better mileage as well as meeting emissions of the newer engines.Being they are also lighter,it makes weight distribution a bit easier with design.Who would have ever thought that these old engine designs would produce so much power in a small package? Amazing?
