Gents,

One reason for keeping the pushrods on the Gen 3 is that 1) it works, 2) it is cheap, and 3) it makes the motor very compact. Just look at the under bonnet room in the VY vs the Ford BA with the twin cam V8. Remember, mass produced cars (Ford, Holden, Camry et al) are made to a price, it is the domain of the Porsche, BMW etc to produce cars to a set level

The next incarnation of the Gen 3 will be the Gen IV (naturally) and will have two cams, but still have pushrods Shocked This allows them the variable timing without affecting the packaging size of the engine. The Gen IV will also be 6.2 litre as well.

I much prefer a well engineered engine (Porsche Flat 6, BMW M3, Rotary, Aston Martin V8 etc), but whether it has two cams, 4 vales etc is really imaterial. As long as it does the job well, who cares.

Yes Ford have done well in the sales this year, but it wasn't hard to improve on what they had Rolling Eyes

I still love my MA61, and also loved my RA23 Evil or Very Mad
