LMFAO

The thing I'm most pissed about is that for years now Ford has been changing the game with their implementation of their "Ecoboost" engines. And it's looking like the next GT500 will be V8 Supercharged. 700+HP? Who TF cares. The Hellcat already came out and "Surprised" all the auto world with that. PLEASE Ford, make the next GT500 a "Twin Turbo V8" and dominate all competition and be the talk of the auto world for a long time!!!!!

4.6 vs 5.7L. Tell me how a 7.0 or even a 5.5 Dohc is fitting in anything narrower than a Lamborghini
What does an LT4 weigh in comparison to, say, a Trinity 5.8?For the record, at this point, **** Dohc. Chevys lt4 is shorter/smaller/lighter-and can be much lighter than it is*, gets better mpg, and is rev happy enough.
I like Dohc when it’s done right and hits 8000rpm smooth as silk.

The shipping weight usually comes in at ~100 lbs more.LS3: 420
Ls7: 454
LT4: 529
Gen 1 coyote 5.0: 430
Trinity 5.8: 623 - I can only find the "shipping weight," not just the engine weight.
The current crate motor cost of an LT1 is more than the CoyoteI’ll chime in on this in a bit, I’m trying to compress what I want to say so it doesn’t take a year to read.
Yes, the LT4 is heavier. By a small amount. No myth or “gotchya” there.
An LS7 is voodoo weight with 7l and much more headroom to make power.
Packaging goes to the ohv’s
Mpg currently goes to the ohv’s
Cost goes to the ohv’s
Ability to shed weight from valve covers, hci and headers and deleting emissions/tech like cylinder deactivation goes to the ohv’s
Tuning goes to the ohv’s
Centerline of weight ohv’s
Ease of repair ohv’s
Tq/lbs ohvs
L/lbs ohvs
Ease of hitting and fitting 400-800hp for and into any given project car while keeping a budget and minimizing complexity goes to ohv’s
Hell instead of fleshing any of this out I’m just going to go to work and let the internet community decide to chime in
Notice I say ohv, I have nothing against Ford for going Dohc but they did it at a time that made little sense to do so. It’s very easy to hit 200-300hp with ohv, and it’s far less complicated. Had ford kept a large line of windsor or retooled to keep making competitive ohv, profits and costs benefits would have been ahead of where the entire dohc parade took them. Sell as many f series as you had, but shave 1-200lbs of the nose, make easier hp, and get innovative like Chevy and Dodge did. The dohc concept is great but big vehicles need displacement and American cars are big. Our small cars make European cars look like mini’s.
