What's the point of a V8 if a v6 delivers more power with less weight?

a v6 with the same displacement as a v8 will always be weaker.
a v6 with forced induction will always be heavier than an NA v8. added complexity is a negative as well.
and if you're gonna add f/i, a v8 with forced induction will automatically be better.

we're talking strictly about the engine

see

you can also have higher displacement with a V8 engine and make more power with the same levels of boost

all due to less vibration

see or maybe this is because pushrods add unnecessary complexity and weight?

LT4 is an engine designed to last 100k miles without issues

the 3.5 ecoboost is designed to last half of that time at most

and yet they took it endurance racing and utterly dominated

EcoBoost > gm

>pushrods
>complex
What?
The entire reason push rods are used is their simplicity and compactness

pushrods are archaic technology
OHC is lighter and makes more power, see

Ok but that doesn't change the fact you said they are complex, which is absolutely incorrect

in endurance racing you aren't putting on the same miles or driving in the same conditions as a road car

pushrods add loads of unnecessary components to the valvetrain
OHC is simpler, fact

you're right, the conditions are far harsher

>compactness
you are just taking mass that would be in the cylinder head and moving it to the block. It only saves on engine height. The only reason it's simpler is because the camshaft is closer to the crank and so needs less timing stuff jammed on the front of the block. It still has the same number of moving parts and an equal complexity to overhead cam designs.

>It only saves on engine height.
And width, and weight...

this guy has it halg right, chances of bending a pushrod are higher than flattening out a lobe. Im not sure if youve ever seen how much shit is in a ohc head but theres a fuck load more you have to work with compared to a ohv

The block needs to be wider to accommodate the camshaft. A DOHC LS engine with a block redesigned for such a configuration would invariably be thinner but taller.

also that picture is extremely misleading as it shows the Mazda BP with it's intake and exhaust manifolds and PS pump still attached while the LS is fresh from the crate.

This, hold the fucking stem or your wine will warm up. Uncultured swine.

Jim Lutz pls go k thnx

red wine is supposed to be warm-ish
holding white wine by the bowl is pleb-tier but red is fine

His chin looks like an 80’s pornstar snatch

IT IS NEVER FINE GET THE FUCK OFF MY BOARD REEEEEE

>ford 3.5l ecoboost

Really makes you think.

LS's and other SBC's are physically small. Add another 2'' for the exhaust and drive accessories and it's still small. Why do you think it's so popular for swaps?
