Hey, very good detail, BUT, why did Chevy think that pushrods WERE the future when they redesigned the old 5.7 litre to the new 5.7 (347 CID I think) motor for the new C5??

This motor revs smoother, gets better mileage, and also puts out more power than the predecessor, so I right in thinking that if Ford redesigned the 5.0 in a similar fashion, instead of switching to the 4.6 SOHC, we wouldn't have noticed any advantages from the 4.6.. ??
(is this true?)

(Hope I don't come across confrontational here, AND, don't get me wrong, the 4.6 is an awesome motor in current trim !)

Thanks!
