[QUOTE="na svt, post: 9291171, member: 35346"] There is a problem with your write up, specifically the setion entitled "Unique Ford DOHC Characteristics." Those characteristics aren't unique to Ford, but are common to most 4v, 4, 6 and 8 cylinder engines, both foreign and domestic. This debate could go on and on forever and which one a person "thinks" is better is a matter of preference. However, the fact is that cubic inches rule in the n/a hp game and combined with the fact that it cost much more to make high n/a power in a modular than it does to make the same power with an archaic design pushrod engine from both Ford or Chevy. The new 4v engine seems to be much better in power output and design, but as Birdman941 already mentioned, it will probably not respond to mods as the old 4v. The reason is that it' stock components are pretty damn good (intake, exhaust manifolds, etc). Basically, as far as bolt-ons go, it seems to be pretty much maxed out already. [/QUOTE]
