Saying that pushrod engines suck is just ignorant, the Viper, LS1, LS6, are you saying those engines suck?Get a grip and grow up, just because your car does not have a pushrod engine that does not mean that they suck!

And yer right Sean. Its not really ignorant, its just childish to say that pushrods suck. My bad. I just like modulars alot. Thats all. I still think 5.0s suck though <IMG height=28 src=smileys/smiley4.gif width=37 border="0">

It's got less PARTS than an OHC set up, but more mass.
The reason OHC's tend to make more power than pushrods is there is less mass to turn, and in DOHC's, the head flows a LOT more air in and out.
I'd love to see you continue to say pushrods suck after seeing one make over 6000 horsepower.
Actually, it's a weekly event known as Top Fuel (NASCAR is pushrod, and a LOT of weekend warriors have pushrods.....as to the LT1, LS1, LS6.........)

When the cam's lobe pushes the pushrod up, the see saw pushes the valve down.
