These v8's, are they crate engines or fitted to any road going vehicle as standard and then available to buy in any country around the world?I don't really care if its a v8, I6, or a v4 if it can do the job. I'm not wedded to a particular configuration per se. If I can eliminate a turbo system tho, I'll take that. I'm just saying the compact packaging of a pushrod V8 makes sense for this truck as it would eliminate a few of the compromises without any real identifiable detriment.
I don't know the answer, but using a non-turbo large push-rod engine be impossible to sell in numerous countries in the same way that the Toyota v8 can't be sold?
We are forced to have all this stuff in Europe & UK so that we save everyone else around the world from global warming. It adds thousands to the cost of vehicles and makes them complex, expensive to repair and reduces reliability.
Having different engines for various markets isn't an answer any longer.
