Anyone who talks down on the modern engines is well.......
The shop next to me builds high end race engines. He has a brand new dyno cell. I get the pleasure of watching lots of 1000, 1,500, HP engines make pulls.
A modern LS or Hemi can make 1000 HP easy. Turn up the boost up the injector size and you are done.
It can run on 91 pump and it will last for ever.
I have seen him turn out high dollar push rod engines as well. They dont make near the power at the same price point.
I think a push rod v8 looks awesome. The new engines have no soul but the sure do stay together, they dont leak oil and they make power.
