The Mustang's Gen 3 5.0 offers a wider working power-band with superior average power to the LT1 - that's part of the reason why the Gen 3 5.0 Mustang will typically walk away from a 6th Gen SS on the top end despite being a heavier car that's also down 70 cubic inches. Regarding the LS3...

RWD = right wheel drive :)

Most of the current pushrod engines do have VVT. In more displacement limited 4 and 6 cylinder applications I believe it really does come down to power density more than anything.

True

Because pushrod engines have poor power density compared to any even remotely well executed 4-valve per cylinder engine. 1. Compared to a 4-valve/cyl engine? Only if the LS has a significant displacement advantage 2. No they don't - method of valve actuation has zero impact on where any...

Best vehicle Toyota makes

It seems straight 6s are making a comeback, a good thing IMO

So what? This engine has TSBs out relating balance shaft concerns/howling.

Long stroke 4 cylinder reliant on a balance shaft that has already posed issues in service, 2 piece sliding camshaft, no port injectors, owners complaining of poor real world fuel mileage. I wouldn't touch this thing with a 10 foot pole personally.

It's still a 4V engine is it not? I'm not sure why having 2 separate camshafts would help it rev any faster than having 1. I'd wager they switched to DOHC primarily to gain the benefits of independent intake and exhaust cam phasing -- the ability to constantly change valve overlap has a lot...

Well, they do have all of that except the drink order button is actually a massage button...

A lot of DOHC valve-trains use roller followers paired with hydraulic lash adjusters that many people refer to as lifters. I believe that is what he was referring to

So do late model GM small-blocks

This is pretty easy What you're describing is camshaft with minimal overlap and with lobe profiles that are easy on the valvetrain. I'd suggest: Intake lobe - 208-212 degree (@.050) Exhaust lobe - 214-218 degree range (@.050) LSA above 110 For shelf cams I'd suggest: Comp Cams XR265HR...

It's only a known issue for the FWD Cyclone V6s (3.5/3.7 Duratec) and that's because they use a timing chain driven water pump. This is the old 3.0 Duratec and it shares nothing architecturally with the 3.5 Duratec -- this 3.0 uses an exhaust cam driven water pump that's mounted on the rear...

2017-up 6.2 F-250 had a 6R100

The Gen 3 Mustang and F150 don't even have the same firing order. Mustang retains the "flathead" firing order while the F150 gets the old Modular/Windsor firing order. Same compression ratio and cylinder head castings but different cams/intake. The F150 does respond exceptionally well...

I work for the maintenance division of one of the largest OTR carriers in the county. They've been running 50K oil change intervals with Cummins ISX/X15, Detroit DD15 and Volvo D13 with Chevron 10W-30 Semi-syn and Fleetgard filters for years. The OEMS do not protest the oil change intervals...
