Everything looks good for now, but looking a few years into the future is a different story.

I can’t imagine where the mod motor will be after 35 more years of refinement. The LSx motors have only been around for 10 years. Not 50. The only thing they share with the original small block is bore spacing & overall size. No overhead cam motor will make the torque that a pushrod motor makes. Pushrod motors will be around forever. They are cheap to build, less moving parts, and much cheaper to maintain/repair over a vehicle’s lifetime. Plus it is alot cheaper to do performance upgrades to. I am not knocking the mod motor. I think it is a great motor. Doesn’t mean it is the best. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/one-for-the-ford-guys/191101)._
