.... 32 valve "wild" design *LOL!!!!
4 valves per cylinder (Penta head) is a standard for the modern motor as it allows for efficent flow of air/fuel. "Modern motor" *G* it has been around for nye on 40 years, not as old a design as a pushrod motor but to each their own. Motorcycles use it as it allows the motor to sping upwards of 16,000 RPM without parts exploding!
For grunt nothing replaced cubes.
Well, it looks like this nuisance just isn't going to quit.
Hankertank, sadly, you probably really think you are witty. Quit embarassing yourself, someone you actually know might read this stuff.
Maybe you just don't get it "g"
My comment was pointing out that Chrysler made that HP out of a 5.7 without that technology and no other pickup could touch it in 2002 when it came out. You have manstroked the 5.7 enough for having just a little bit more and it took much more engineering/development to get it and at this time, it really isn't more.
While you are on your trip of being a wealth of knowledge, go ahead and tell me which light duty pickups built 40 years ago that came with V-8 gas engines contained anything other than push rods and 2 valves per cylinder. Then tell me which ones had that 30 years ago, then 20 years ago, then show me a list of light truck, V-8 engines older than 1996 that had 4 valves per cylinder. I bet it is pretty small if any exist at all. Now the old man had a 91 ZR1 Corvette that fit that bill, but it surely wasn't offered in any GM pickups.
Come on Einstein, I am waiting to be blessed with this information.
Of course now, you find it all over the place. I am somewhat confident that the first one found in a v-8 powered pickup was the Ford triton series. That of course is a guess and have no actual wisdom to back it up.
So who did it and when?
Was it Ford, Dodge, GM, international or jeep. We know Toyota didn't offer a truck with a v-8 in it until the mighty first gen Tundra, Nissan not until Titan so that pretty much leaves the domestics in the V-8 truck world of the United States.
