Pushrod V8's aren't necessarily 'crap', they have their place, as do OHC engines - theres certainly nothing new about a toyota 1uz, its all 1920's technology. And still hideously inefficient. Anyone who was at Summernats could well have seen the Trick+Mansweto XW falcon 351 pulled a naturally aspirated 708hp at the wheels. With a 'crap' 351. I'm sure as hell not saying that you could drive this thing to the lawn bowls meet every day (overheating, fuel consumption, noise all being issues!), but it only sounded half as lumpy as many cars that made less than half the power. Plus it obviously wasn't exactly a cheap engine, and would be so far from emissions standards it might as well be a nuclear reactor, specially with twin 4 barrels! Then again, does someone think they can knock up a naturally aspirated 1uz with that kind of grunt? That said, right now at home we're building a project HZ holden with a 1UZ in it, and I intend to use one in my next car as well. Plus my current car is a turbo 4ag. Learn to appreciate everything!
