Overhead cam, maybe i need more understanding on engines, did engines in the 60's and 70's come with overhead cams, maybe i need to spend more time on mustangs and less on trying to get my god dam crx to work.

i've been told it also has something to do with how the crank is mounted that's unique over a normal engine design.<IMG src=smileys/smiley5.gif border="0">

Modular means that the same parts from different engines are the same,the 4.6,5.4,and the 6.8 V-10 are all part of the Ford modular engine family.The 6.8 is just a 5.4 with 2 more cylinders added,the rods,pistons,valve train,and front and rear of the block are the same.Also many parts from the 4.6 and the 5.4 are the same.
