[QUOTE="RedVenom48, post: 15961861, member: 166576"] One of the biggest reasons this engine is in development is for the chassis cab market. U-Haul, Budget, motorhome builders etc have ALL been getting by with the tried and true 3v non-VCT V10. And while its been a good engine, its long in the tooth on power, emissions and size and they don't get nearly as good fuel economy as these companies would like to see. This new engine is being built to make torque and fit easily in more places while being up to date on emissions. Add into that its easier to service and teardown a pushrod engine than an OHC engine. Clearly, OHC engines can produce ridiculous power (Coyote, Condor, Trinity). But for lower RPM applications, pushrod is just fine. [/QUOTE]
