The fuck is the point? That is completely 6-cylinder levels of displacement.

To be honest, I like Ford, but sometimes they do things that just doesn't make sense.

>>17351099
Let's be honest, that 3.9 V8 isn't exactly channelling DFV vibes or anything.

>>17351116
Jokes aside, it's a de-bored and destroked version of the Jaguar V8, so it was probably cheaper for Ford to use an already existing design than to develop a new large-displacement 6-cylinder.
I mean they had the Barra in Australia but that's an inline 6 and it's probably too long for Ford's intended applications.

>>17351087
With pushrods and low displacement we could have v8s everywhere.

how exactly is it the shittiest v8?

There's a difference between an F1-tier short stroke mini-V8, and a 3.9L, 85mm pigfat POS that couldn't even clear 8000 RPM if it wanted to.

Using an existing Modular would've been even cheaper.

It's also physically bigger and heavier than a LS. Why do Germans do this shit?

It's a great engine because you can do so much with it and its easy to get well over double the power out of it, but they give it so little power stock that it's absolutely abysmal.

>>17351622
>they give it so little power stock that it's absolutely abysmal.
They already made the most hp out of any big three V8 with the Hellcat, and then they one-upped themselves with the Demon. The 3rd gen Hemi makes plenty of power - thanks to the best heads in the industry. Hell, someday soon somebody will make 3rd gen Hemi-style heads for the LS.

All I want from the 4th gen is an aluminium block, cam-in-cam VVT and a factory 426 displacement offered in SRT8 models.

>>17351029
>on the market

OP thinks the current year is 2000.

>>17351610
It's about 2/3 of an LS front to back, and they're within an inch top-to-bottom and side-to-side. Stop spewing shit.

>>17351606
The ones in my trucks dont, and they also look a lot different.

>>17351659
I know. The potential is there, but a stock HEMI is pathetic.

how can a manufacturer be so utterly fucking incompetent at engineering?

>>17351915
Why did they go with an electric water pump then if it fits fine?

>>17351977
Because they're superior to mechanical pumps especially if you plan on adding power in the future.

>>17351987
Nah mate. I mean, look at all that custom accessory drive stuff. its too long, it doesn't fit, and you know it.
Nobody is going to go full custom remote water pump on such a basic install unless they have to.

>>17351610
Also look how far forwards it is.

>>17352012
It's not like a fucking LS is a factory option, It's not going to be perfect... The point is there's still more room because it's basically smaller.
>>17352022
The stock engine is forward as fuck too. It's just shitty chassis and drivetrain engineering.

There is an engine from them thats close, but it isnt quite the same bore. 0.1mm off. and it would need a custom cam sprocket.

Id say somewhat respectable attempt at designing an engine, in practice though quality of them is all over the map. Some will go well over 300k, some drop a valve or throw a rocker arm at 150k. There is also the added complexity of a SOHC for the power you get.

I understand they were a little more fuel efficient, but I will never understand why chrysler dumped money in a SOHC engine from scratch when they could have revised the Magnum/LA.

How is this retarded thread still alive? The 1UZ was superceded by the 3UZ and the 1UZ was a fantastic engine as far as reliability went. With some headers alone it'll make a good 300 horsepower on the VVTi variant. The only thing that it's really missing is factory turbocharging.

It has 5 valves per cylinder and still can't break 350hp.

>>17354905
At that point, why didn't they just use the 40V with the timing belt from the D2 S8? That thing made 360hp and runs 300k km with no issues.

>>17355740
Who thought about such a retarded design?

>>17355744
Because the engine bay was too short. Putting the chain drive at the back shaved a couple of inches off the engine length.

>>17355745
Audi's engineers are pretty fucking stupid, considering they thought it was a good idea to put a big heavy engine ahead of the front wheels.
