who cares anyway?
I miss the days with my worked cleavland.. I used to sit at the lights idling and the car rocked like it was floating in rough water... and a really deep rumble..
(has 4v heads, tuned length paceys, 780cfm carb and a nice lumpy cam)
nowdays if a motor doesn't sound and act like a sewing machine, people don't like it.. where have your balls gone people? |

Sowing machines go faster and use less fuel.
That's why.
I love v8's too, but I don't really think its the way to go. |

oh I dunno.. V8 supercars seems pretty quick to me.
V8 or V6 or V12 isn't the only criteria..
you can have a V10 that is only 2 litres if you want.. that doesn't make it a bad engine..
likewise, you an have a lumpy 4 or 6cyl as well.
my point was that having a rocking tappet cover is no criteria to judge a sporty motor on.. |

Check this out! http://www.fordmods.com/forums/fordman351-s-other-twincam-conversion-project-sleeper-r31-t63796.html
EDIT: I'll jump into the conversation haha. I'm a tech head, i'll take a high tech turbo 6 cylinder engined car any day. But i do agree (and i don't reckon there would be anyone that wouldn't) but you cannot beat the sound of a V8, even if it isn't as quick as a turbo 6, it still sounds awesome *drool* |

the 4.1 would kill it for torque though. those 4 speed manual s-packs flew for their day. considering its a dirt simple engine compared to the rb30 she went alright. peak kw is no measuring stick for how good an engine is ffs. |
