Hey, whatever works, right? I think 400+ HP out of a 281 CI is pretty respectable. 500+ out of a 330 CI? Definitely working for them. Donā€™t forget the 96-98, 99, 01 Cobra Motors, and 03/04 Mach Motors. All aluminum 4.6L 32V 320 HP. Ford could build a good N/A Engine if they needed to. (And the 5.0L Cammer that Ford makes as a crateā€¦ 420 HP N/A!) ---

GM is still producing dinosaur motors with pushrods. There will come a day when they cannot meet the requirements for emissions and such and will have to go a different direction.

It has more to do with cylinder design & cylinder head design. The electronics will do the job of making an engine emissions compliant. Pushrod motors will be around for a long time. Not that I am siding with GM on this, either. ---

Thatā€™s fine for GM. I am glad ford made the switch to the new mod motors. Smaller CI, better mpg, and a lot more power. And changing cams in a mod motor doesnā€™t look to hard, just take the valve covers off and there they are. šŸ˜ƒ The small block GM motor is a great motor and probably will be for a few more years. But like everything, this will change. ---

I think 77 is right. Pushrods arenā€™t exactly new technology. Maybe not soon, but they will change some day. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/one-for-the-ford-guys/191101.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/one-for-the-ford-guys/191101.md?page=3)
