O.k... but the engine was designed in u.k. because GM could not into performance, GM's factories could not build the engine because it was too complicated so they had contract the manufacturer of it out.

It was at least built by Mercury Marine in Oklahoma, based on an SBC, and put into a Corvette. Murican enough for me.

The C4 ZR1 and C5 Z06 are the only corvettes worth owning to me anyway.

Simple OP. Sonny's engines, specifically the 727Ci Hemi. The 'endurance' version (for street cars) is rated at 1200HP on 91 octane pump gas.

And yes, this is a better American V8, made in Virginia.

Or would they be the bull since they have a BBC?

>>17380851
Absolutely not, both the Olds 400 and 455 were better (and the 425 as well even if that wasn't in the A-bodies). Hell, even the 350 was arguably better. The 403 had serious problems in that they took the Olds small block, kept the standard ~3.3" stroke length, and just bored it way out to the point the engine had trouble getting enough coolant flowing through to not overheat.

It's not a Evo or something with a 80mm at 40psi. It's got a normal-ish powerband and is happy idling along at highway speeds or in traffic all day. That's the beauty of a V8.

It's a mediocre small block at best, there's a reason the Windsor outlived it.

>>17383373
Who cares, either way they all have oiling problems and the blocks are thin as paper.
The only redeeming factor is the 4v heads but that means shit flow down low, something Ford to this day can't seem to understand.

Can someone explain to me like I'm 5 years old why the Voodoo can have that many liters and not have the pistons throwing themselves into a vibrating monster?

I thought that was a gigantic issue with FPC's.

Just going to assume the firing order is fucked with or some shit idk shit about engines.

>>17386242
5 liters isn't high displacement by American standards. Seeing as the economy offering for GM forever was a 307 or 305 after the mid sixties. And Chrysler's was a 318 CID. Those are all 5+ liters
