Funny, the article the thread points to is about the technology in Fords new four and six cylinder direct injection turbo motors.
The OP posted how they are much more advanced then the current crop of Chevy OHV engines.

If you want an engine that is easy to fix, work on my old FE 390. It has ~5 wires in the engine compartment excluding the plug wires. A screwdriver, 1/2" and 9/16" wrench, and pliers can just about fix everything on the truck

š¤£ Like, OMG! if we use a smaller displacement motor and a turbocharger we can get power similar to that of the V8 and better gas mileage! Hello Ford and welcome to 1989.

There not useing the same old pushrod any moreā¦
New for 2008 is a direct-injected (DI) version of the 3.6-liter V6 engine. Variable valve timing on the intake and exhaust cams and an 11.3:1 compression ratio help the new engine put out 304 SAE-certified hp, and 80 percent of the peak torque output of 273 lb-ft is available at 1,000 rpm. This engine feels stout, but thereās no place on this winding circuit to verify Cadillacās claim of 5.9-second performance to 60 mph and a top speed of 155 mph.

I see less wires and hoses under the more modern engine bays then the 80ās and 90ās cars.
With added technology has come simplicity. Itās a lot more pleasent to work on an ECU with a laptop then make sure eleventy billion vacuum hoses you canāt even see are hooked up correctly.
