Re: Pushrod Crossplane V8s

ooh how about this. Alternating carburetor and EFI each cylinder. Better yet, you could make the first letter of your company out of the carburetors! :lol:

Pushrod V-8s? I'm excited! I will have to build some epic all aluminum high revving beast. I think pushrod motors are overlooked to much. Simplicity and compactness are good traits in a motor.

Overlooked? 3 letters....SBC

3 more letters....SBF.

To be fair, the fastest (drag) cars in the world have pushrods.

Trust me SBF means alot to me as I have been messing with 5.0 Mustangs for about 15 years now.

Sorry I should have posted that I meant that it seems to me with most European and Japanese car fans that Pushrod motors are looked down upon as being low tech and not very good.
