Your english is just getting better and better good work keep it up
Bruno Justic I noticed too
i think you meant that he slurs less during prolonged speech greater than 4.5seconds...
fidel catsro overall he is getting better and better
yup he is getting better... we keep encouraging him to watch more of these UK english videos and improve his power of vocabulary and speech toasting > ruclips.net/video/vhd1IqNM3M8/видео.html
Kokolin nobody is forcing you to watch
The beautiful thing about "ridiculous" engine displacement is the lower specific output means the engine tends to last longer at a lower price compared to low-displacement, high strung engines. It also gives you somewhere to go if you do want to start moding the thing for more power. Lots easier to make more power out of a lazy 300hp 5.7L then an already knife-edge tunned factory 300hp 2.5L.
It's about time someone recognized the Cummins 5.9...
Biggest Richard Cranium you are very wrong on that
Biggest Richard Cranium the isb CR was also a very good engine
@@wyattlandrath3265 all the 5.9s are good these mfs have no idea what they are talking about
I just love this channel. I never thought there would ever be a channel that talks all things engines. Please never ever stop.
I will do my best
Gotta love the sound of a viper v10
Andrew Samy there is nothing better than that sound
The Millbrook Biker agreed.
Sounds great, but very little aftermarket support. Not worth the extra weight.
Ah yeah they sound like a piece of shit 4 cylinder at idle and low rpm. After hearing a LFA the Viper V10 sounds pathetic.
Even better when revving up to 8000 RPM.
Don't forget about the Buick 455 V-8 big block. It was 370 hp and 510 lb/ft of torque in the 1970 Buick Riviera GS Stage 1.
John Lincicum nothing had more torque than a stage 1. It's funny how so many ppl looking over that engine
John Lincicum I'm a mopar fan , but right!!!!
@@Turshinthey’re not looked over, they’re highly desired but people can’t either afford them or can’t find them because they aren’t common as they were back then, same with the Buick 421
Awesome video ! Appreciate the Love for having my ZR-1 clip in the video thanks!
When I clicked on this video, I was on “if this damn video doesn’t have the LT5 in it” mode.
A sbc 283 or 302 would be a good candidate for this list if it wasn't for them using shity valve springs I've seen people cranking 8500 with stock bottom end with upgraded Springs
Ford coyote and voodoo engines, Chrysler hemi
Kenyon Payne lmao not even close, coyotes are 4 valves per cylinder and have 4 cams, hemi is 2 valve and has 1 cam but nice try kid.
Derrik Lee did you literally just try to tell me that neither of those are known as good American performance engines? Because I wasn't trying to say they were similar
Kenyon Payne I guess some people think there engineer's because they know how many valves or cams an engine has. And he probably had to google it. But you made a good point, I could name 8 American engines WAY better then all of these in the video. Shit I could name 8 Ford V8 engines better then them.
Tom Parry exactly, I'm more of a Ford guy, but with the history of the hemi and how many drag racing engines are hemis
Hemis are really good engines, hell the Hellcat and Demon engines are Hemi engines.
In case you were wondering what the focus rs spat out the exhaust; it was the head gasket.
A S2000 swap a V10? I'm shocked, lol
BLASPHEMY! - but I am impressed
Shooketh
Could of done more with a V8 since the aftermarket support will be minimal
@@MARZOSIRUS there are 3000 hp viper v10s
Is it american japanese or Italian
the ecoboost lineup is developed in germany by ford europe so its not really a US engine
Werner whatever not necessarily.
Ecoboost contains 3.5 V6 and 2.7 V6 with are pure American engines
Not completely, its Co developed by ford Europe And ford US both, it was originally made for the mustang way before ford had the RS , or before they even sold the mustang in Europe.
Mazda MZR joke.
Dean Grimsell facts. SVO
Considering that the Ford Focus RS Ecoboost engines are crapping out at a high rate .. maybe it needs to come off the list until they fix it.
Japan makes the best V and Inline 6 and 4, America makes the best V8, Germany makes the best V10 and Flat 6, and Italy makes the best V12.
Josh Lewis a bit biased imo. But i agree with you mostly.
England also makes good V8
That's too easy imo
China makes the best lawnmower engine
Twenty 20 What about the r26b
I like that you started to do voice over makes the videos even better
426 hemi, L88 corvette, 429 boss, 454 chevelle, 427 Ford, 5.0 coyote, 427 tri power and the 455 Oldsmobile/Pontiac. Why are they not on this list but the eco boost, lt5, 5.9 Cummings, and the Neon motor are?
7.3forlife at least I'm not the only one, don't show shitty 4 cylinder engines and leave out real motors, that's like not putting a Ferrari motor on there but adding a yugo
7.3forlife the dudes clearly not American lol... He don't kno shit
455 old's and poncho get eaten by the 455 Buick.
The 429 Ford was gutless.My dad test drove a Mustang with one,could not burn the rear tires at all
@@Toolaholic7 Steve McQueen would like to disagree. Anecdotal tails by family hardly tarnish the reputation of the 429 Lolas, the GT40s with 429s that won 24 hours of Le Mans in 1966 and 1967. To think those engines hail from 53 or 54 years ago...
Old 5.0 with heads cam and intake sounds really good too.and their durability is legendary
Visioracer, I bet you would have so much fun with the steam game "automation". You can design vehicles and build engines.
Thank you for including Cummins, and powerstroke.
LT-5!!!!! YES!!
I've yet to see a boring video from this guy. Keep up the good work.
Engines with most tuning potential ( comparing factory output to max. output ) next! Or maybe engines overlooked by the tuning community, that have great potential for tuning :)
I just like everything, low reving 998cc in my classic Mini, 1.8l that will rev to 8.200rpm in my mk1 Clio 16v and is a nice and punchy engine, 2.5l in the 325i e30, 2.7 plenty of torque in the 525e e28, 325tds as a daily (inline 6 diesel, pretty much bulletproof), 2.5tdi quattro v6 for towing and be unstoppable in the snow. And at work I play with heavy truck/boat engines :D
🇺🇸 *’MURICAAAAAA!!!1!!!!11!!!!!* 🇺🇸
Would be nice if the engineers had more freedom while designing the cars!
Hey man, I've been subbed for awhile but I just had to say how great your videos are. It's great to see someone else fascinated and passionate about all the different types of motors and vehicles, big and small.
I'm surprised you didn't put the big dogs in there. The ZR1, Hellcat/demon and GT350 engines.
Andrew don’t forget the new gt500’s engine: the 5.2L predator
Death Pixel Ford has the best engine names.
Andrew Ikr! Coyote, Vodoo, and now Predator
Andrew As a Chevrolet fan fuck yeah they do lmao besides keeping up with LS’ and LT’s is getting out of hand. So many variations
LT5 is there. Can build it to 900hp na. No direct injection. No supercharger. The new pushrod LT5 is not even in the same league as the 25 year old Lotus marvel.
I frigging love this dude, keep up the good work!
I wish Ford had a better name for their EcoBoost engines. Why I say that, is because there is two things you can only choose to have with them, Eco, or Boost. Not both at the same time.
Ford knew most people buying them are not car enthusiasts or automotive-inclined, therefore wouldn't be the wiser. In real-world driving, the 5.0 vehicles get slightly better mileage than the ecoboost, and tend to have fewer issues (stressed engines, i.e. forced induction, almost always face more issues than NA in a given period of time)
That 68 charger made my day
I currently own a boat with a Dart headed Prochatged 406 Sbc with a Fast XFI injection system.I don’t think you can beat American V8 engines and bolt on performance accessories potential for the price
That noise from the last 2 engines. Incredible.
Okay now do actual American performance engines. Where's the 6.2 Hellcat, LT4, 6.4 HEMI, etc?
The 6.2 is basically a 6.4 but slightly smaller bore to beef it up Bc of the boost. They’re basically the same engine
I don't know if I'm not right I understand that if you pass 6.5 L, you treat it like a big block. By the way, it is 7.0 liters, so it can be categorized as small-block?
MURICA 🇺🇸
Love the SRT4. In it's day it was the fastest car in the world for it's price.
Yeah, they were nasty sleepers at first because people thought it was just a regular Neon. Many gave me good races in my 98 LS1 Trans-AM.

They make good power and even better torque, they're easier and cheaper to modify and work on than modular engines and are physically smaller even though the displacement is higher. While they are a bit archaic, I don't think I'd go so far as to calling them shitty. Also all of the Ford Engines are DOHC sooo..
another honorable mention: Chrysler 5.7 Hemi. air flow is amazing and they're strong. they handle forced induction very well on stock internals. they are the next LS so to speak and what I mean by that is you can pull a junkyard 5.7 and stick it in something to go fast. they're just still pricey because they're generally newer and not as many made. but 10, 20 years from now as more and more wind up in junkyards, the price will drop and people will see their potential. mark my words!
thatallredheadude 1 I have one of those in my Ram 1500. Great engine
nice! my mom sold Chrysler Dodge Jeep (and even some Plymouths!) from about 2000-2005 when the Hemi came out. it was an exciting time for the company until Mercedes started to get greedy
12 valve 5.9l Cummins is one of the best american Engine of all time. Simplicity+Durability+ample Displacement+massive torque+easy tunability+Good Mpg = Guts and Glory.
yep pretty much
Havent you heard about the focus rs engine problems? (Ecobost engine, which by the way is made by ford europe)
krezo Mustang has the same problems with the gasket if I'm not mistaken.
It's because they were installing mustang EcoBoost head gaskets on the RS motors, the difference between them being a coolant or oil channel that the mustang has but RS does not. So the spot in the gasket with the hole for that channel was blowing out on the RS as it made a weak spot
Lucas Cassan that's what I read as well
It's because they installed the gasket from an EcoBoost Mustang to the Focus RS which somehow fuccs it up. Same engine block but obviously different parts for different cars. If they put it correctly then it would probably no problem
A lot of failures from improper tuning was blamed on the mix up with headgaskets as well. Only a few hundred cars had actual issues with the headgaskets but Ford fixed others because the word got out.
Enjoyable and that sound!!
The sound of that Italian Charger was just porn to my ears'.
SixPack FTW
I have an SRT-4 Neon ACR, a Subaru WRX, a '91 Chevy K1500, and an '04 Silverado 2500 with the 6.6l Duramax. By far the most fun car to drive because of the high power-to-weight ratio is the SRT-4 with the other vehicles having their places as well with the trucks being the high torque, knock-you-back-in-your-seat vehicles and the WRX being the best in a corner/winding road.
Austrian engines maybe ? : )
So, Steyrs, Puch's and KTM:s? Oh, and Austro Engines for aircraft!
Those sounds wonderful.
A real shame then that Ford EcoBoost has been having headgasket problems, just like the Rover K-Series
That’s my only issue with ecoboosts other than sound, they’re less reliable and they don’t last as long as old school naturally aspirated. Though I will give them this, they whoop ass in the power game
You are getting quite a bit better with the info and stats of the American engines :) (still a few little things here and there, but as a whole you are doing a lot better than in earlier videos when it comes to Detroit iron)
Way to go!
Also, this would have been an extremely hard list for me to make
Soooo many great engines to choose from! I like that you used a variety if different kinds as well
We may not have as many high tech engines as y’all do in Europe or Asia, but it’s hard to beat our beasts in value or durability lol
Take care!
(By the way if you ever want to check a fact or get some ideas just ask, I wouldn’t mind helping out at all 😊)
i had a 1968 440 375 hp and my buddies car...a 1966 gto 389 was so so much faster...it had about the same torque but his car would rev higher, way way higher...that car was amazing, the high crackling 8000 rpm burnouts were crowd pleasers...mine dropped dead at 4500 rpm
When it comes to old iron, it's all in the cam and top end. A good cam can make or break older American V8's. If yours fell on its face after 4500, it's most likely because you had a cam set up to deliver more low end. With good internals and some heavy valve springs, 7k is probably doable in a 440. But honestly, if you want something that revs, Mopar 383 is a better bet. 440 is all bottom and mid range. With the right gear setup and if you can get the power to the road, a 440 will roast a 389 all day long. No replacement for displacement.
akio2589 pretty much said what I was going to lol
4:44 hey man, a bunch of 80's movies called... they want their haircut back.
forgot ford coyote and voodoo v8s, they are incredible
Great video (as usual) but I mish the ecotec turbo engines (lnf, ldk and ltg) that appeared in some of your previous videos. I am considering some of them for a future project due to their availability, price, reliability and ease to get extra horse power.
the LT5 was actually part of the Gen2 Small Block Chevy engine family. it's based on the LT4, but heavily built and tuned up.
also an Ecoboost...really, really, really isn't that fuel efficient.
Assuming of course you’re talking about the ‘new’ LT5 in the 19 zr1 ... yes indeed shares nothing with the Lotus motor.
I was not talking about the new LT5, but the 1990's one. I was addressing the fact, that it IS considered a small-block Chevy, but of the short-lived Gen 2 small block Chevy engine family, consisting of the L99, LT1, LT4, and LT5.
Lotus helped with designing, engineering, and developing the DOHC heads and valvetrain for the 1990's LT5, but did not produce any engines themselves.
Cobalt Lukather I can’t say for sure if it’s considered gen II. I was fairly sure the LT1 was considered gen II with reverse flow cooling etc. Even if it is, the 90s LT5 shares nothing with those engines At all. I know some people still think it’s dohc heads on an LT1 /facepalm
all Gen II's had reverse flow cooling and, as far as i know, the LT5's were based on the same block casting (same bore spacing, crankshaft position, sensor/bolt placement, oil passages, water cooling jackets, accessories, etc.) as the other Gen II's. the material used may have been altered to a slightly different alloy for higher strength, but i don't know. However, I'm sure that the LT5-specific parts not related to the valvetrain and intake were very similar, if not identical to the LT4 (crankshaft, bearings, oil pressure sensors, etc.)
Cobalt Lukather ahh ok that’s what I was unsure of if you were thinking it’s related to the actual pushrod architecture. I can tell you for a fact it is not. The LT5 is a completely different design. It has a open deck, 2 piece lower structure for the block and is all aluminum. It’s a completely different design.. more in common with formula racing V8s from the 80s/90s than anything. The only thing the LT5 shares, is the bore spacing which handicapped the 90 LT5 by 35 -40hp.
Do you think you can do a video on or including the Mosler MT900 powered by the LS7?
Why no Coyote 5.0? :(
Many interesting engines. More to go
America makes the best straight 6 with the Cummins and America also makes the best v8 with the gm ls/lt, Dodge hellcat/demon and Ford 5.0
Eh, straight 6 diesel... Best straight 6 gas engine probably goes to Toyota, from a performance standpoint.
Best depends there are other Brands that makes great V8's and 6 inlines. Like Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Toyota, Nissan...
@@akio2589 eh America has some really nasty straight sixs but good luck finding them anymore.
@@jdrok5026 not American but the Australian ford 4L Barra is considered one of the best i6's in the world here, you should check it out bud :)
I'm sure my dad would be happy that one of his favorite engines mad it on here. He used to have a '67 Charger with a 440.
1.9 Liter TDI
German
I used to own a 1997 ahu block tdi. Never modded, it didn't have a lot of ass, but it got tremendous fuel economy, and it did highway driving for days on end with all the reliability in the world
"Performance" "u.s."
Ha I got one to I love it
netflix dirty money first episode and you would love to melt all those engines. Very "clean power".
VisioRacer = The best damn car videos on RUclips!!! If your a car guy you better hit that subscribe button...
As an American I find our engines quite boring, I love all the fancy trickery that European engines use to squeeze power from their motors. We’re over here like “what if.....it was bigger?”
more like "how do we make this 8 liter v8 to not produce any power?" and bam, v8s with 200hp
no, but i wouldn't like that they only could get 200hp out that much engine. And i'd not buy a 1 liter either. I'd buy a old volvo that's 2.3l with a turbo
Trinidad Jamieson Americans be like bigger boom makes it go faster right?
Necessity is the mother of all invention. Displacement and high compression were used because the US never imposed displacement limits like many European countries. These companies were fully capable of creating high-revving, high output engines (Ford Cammer), but they were costly and unnecessary. Fuel was cheap!
I would say the Japanese smaller engines are way better and more reliable than the European engines
the GM 4.3L Turbo 280Hp 360 FtLbs - Buick 3.8 turbo 300Hp 420FtLbs - the GM 3800 Series Supercharged 260Hp 280FtLbs - Ecotec 2.0 Turbo 345Hp 310FtLbs
The Buick supercharged 3.8 made 240 HP and 280 ft-lb and the Ecotec 2.0 turbo made 260 hp 260 ft⋅lb
@walt charamba
The FWD 3.8, you know Pontiac Grand Prix, not the GNX
@walt charamba
Not from factory, but ZZPerformance built a 800 HP TT
The ecoboost is garbage. It has an engineering problem with the open water jacket design that causes these engines to continuously blow head gaskets. The block is not strong enough to handle boost.
Captain Howdy rule of thumb american..euro...asain never buy first years models...all the quirks
Exactly. And that applies not only to cars, so it's definitely worth remembering.
No, it's the head gasket design itself. They accidentally built some engines with the Mustang 2.3L head gasket instead of the one meant for the RS. Plenty of engines have open water jackets like Subaru.
VolkswagenGamer subaru has the same problems bud. Look it up.
They're Volvo motors that have been around since the early 2000's, far from new just rebadged
I actually agree with most of this list, but where's the Voodoo V8 from the GT350? Its an all aluminum, high compression, dry sump 5.2 liter. It's got 4 cams, variable valve timing, an 8,250 rpm fuel cutoff and it makes 526hp naturally aspirated! That has to be in America's top 5 even
Were is the 7.3 power stroke
diesel01 because he said performance 😉 (I am a 12 valve owner I had to)
I love them big diesels :P Cummins, Powerstroke and Duramax.....I like them all
I love the 7.3 and 5.9l cummins
I like the old 6.6l duramax
Mayor Clayton as a owner of a 24v common rail, I approve your comment
Another great video as always. Keep up the great work man! Much respect to you
I disagree about the diesel beeing "better" "double the torque". A diesel only becomes powerful with a turbocharger. But so does a petrol engine. A petrol doesnt provide as much torque as a diesel when both are turbocharged but when both are n/a the diesel has MUCH less of both.
Yeah, and that advantage with turbo is due to a higher possible boost. And modern petrol engines can be really economical, so definitely not "double the mileage" too.
szafirowy01 i mean some deisels get 40+ mpg and their are 600+ hp diesels making 20+mpg so there mileage is pretty good
Still not double in the same car. What's your point? Stating the obvious?
szafirowy01 more or less, kinda sounded like you where saying diesels dont have good mileage so i just wanted to put it down they do
The "double the torque" point isn't quite right, but the rest is: Diesel engines are thermodynamically more efficient indeed, they can extract more energy per unit of fuel than gasoline ones. Gasoline ones can be good, but Diesel ones can be even better.
The deal about torque isn't much important without the proper gearing anyway, and it all varies per application. You ain't accelerating to a certain speed any faster if you just have "more torque" than someone with same HP value.
Turbos are better suited for Diesel engines because of their lean burn nature, they'll only burn rich when coal rolling and then they're not even making more power at that point than stoichiometric mixture anyway, but up until that point you're not pre-detonating like with gasoline under too high compression.
That ultima with the ls7, glorious car and engine
The same engine is used in the Mosler MT900.
TBH you should have added the duramax V8 diesel
Bryce Moritz HAHAHAHAHAHAH don't make me laugh
Bryce Moritz duramax is a Japanese diesel
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂 those are made in Japan ......
No the duramax is a cross between Isuzu and GM and they're built in the U.S.A by a company called DMAX
indeed, the duramax is an incredible engine!
and I'm the bloody pope...
*cough*
Holyshit the ecoboost made the list 😲, having a really great day first I beat a G37 on my way to work in my 2.3t mustang and now this video 😁
Was that little Focus in the video spitting oil out the exhaust or was that water and soot??
@@samcoleman4589 I was wondering the same thing.
all fans ford focus RS should say big "thank you" for Volvo.
Łukasz S
The old one had a 5 cyl, the new one is a plebian 4cyl
987654321 yes. I know but first fokus rs engine Born from Volvo old construction :)
Łukasz S
No, first Focus had only 4 cyl engines.
Second Focus only had 5 cyl engine in Europe
And there it ends.
It wasn't an old engine, the basic block is very similar, but it went trough some revisions trough the years.
987654321 you right mate. That's was focus rs II with 5 cylinders modified Volvo engine.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Focus_(second_generation,_Europe)#Focus_RS_Mk_2
The 2.3 is essentially a similar engine to what Mazda used in their Mazdaspeed 3 or Mazdaspeed 6.
I nominate the GM LS series of engines (the LS7 is one) but it's main advantages are:
A deep skirt around the crankshaft bosses with 6 bolt main caps, and long head bolts that attach near the crankshaft webbing. An engine builder with a channel "myvintageiron"(plus 4 numbers) notes that the head bolts don't distort the bores because the threads are away from the tops of the cylinders.
So many of the strongest engines have that deep skirt of metal that extends below the crank centerline, like industrial and farm diesels and larger.
A great engine not mentioned is the 426 Hemi, produced in the late 60's and early 70's used in Chrysler performance cars. It had a hemispherical combustion chamber and valve placement that allowed large valves, a better angle for the induction ports and also used the deep skirt around the crankshaft. I haven't seen good pictures of the powerful Nissan and Toyota inline 6's, but I'll bet they have a good, strong design in the crankshaft webbing part of the engine block.
The Americans still need to learn how to engine!!!! Having specific outputs that barely reach 60-70hp per litre is nothing to be proud of
Van and Car Stuff imagine they would manage specific outputs around the like of the b-series or Toyotas 4AGE.
Were talking 700+ HP Naturally Aspirated 7.3 liters, and after that add a big single turbo if you feel lucky.
Van and Car Stuff you are so right
Van and Car Stuff learn about torque
Well, there's also a HUGE difference between a 2 hour RACE and a chill tour with a high capacity engine.
One is at it's limits per application definition itself (it's a race after all), the other is chilling down the road with no need to reach high pressures. I would make the comparison more along the lines of racing vs racing, or chill vs chill.
The "learn about torque" commented above by Player 2, really, is honestly moot. You got no HP without torque, neither is torque moving anything without HP. "but towing" means nothing too without the proper gearing. The relevant information on towing is the engine reliability and the wheel torque, if you wanna tow FASTER, you need more HP regardless of your torque. If you wanna tow MORE, you need WHEEL TORQUE, you can have all the torque in the world at the engine, you'll have to output it somehow, don't forget about electric or even diesel-electric trains as well, that have, well, electric motors that rev way higher than their diesel counterparts but move a lot. It's all about the gearing.
More on the whole gearing thing: M1-Abrams tank: uses a turbine for it's power unit. "but that turbine has a lot of torque" yes at the output shaft, after a 10:1 reduction.
Kalvinjj Thank you. People just don't get it...
First of all I like your movies. Second is obvious - love cars :)
American 'performance' engines😂😂
Luca Erdmann Damn right.
Yeah the diesels are abit out of place
Cough "LS" cough
Yes, and I bet the record holders in drag racing in your country have an ls v8 slapped in their car.
Devin Stambolziovski it's because of the sheer availability of parts for that motor. Plus, top fuels run hemis.
Will the C7 ZR1 Vette have a 16-valve DOHC V8, instead of the cool badass LS???
I hear the focus rs engine has a lot of engine issues, could you make a video about that?
Even if you don’t like American cars, you can’t deny that our v8 engines sound astonishing
does CAT engines count? i know they were for utility and such but before stopping production they were one the best...
Surprisingly cool South African cars. Chevy Can-Am for example
I work in a NY jail near a Tech College. About 10 years ago I booked in this kid that had a Neon SRT-4. He had 3 passengers and was clocked doing 153 MPH. He only had about 1/2 mile to attain this speed, and pulled over immediately when lit up by the cruiser. He had 3 passengers at the time, but was 'under the influence.' He was in the Automotive section of College and told me there was much more performance available in his car!
Stock block on one can handle around 450hp. Mine makes 409hp on pump gas lol.
Mine could bring 5th gear to redline which was 160mph exactly without a problem with a $200 mopar stage 1 ecu and exhaust
Excelent video as always, best regards from "the other side of the atlantic" XD
LS7 is a factory fitment to the VE Holden Commodore W427 in Australia.
You need to do another best sounding diesels video with the N14-500 and ISX-550
I was hoping for a big block chevy in the list but the ls7 is still amazing
Why do older cars have a longer slower start up, like the charger at 6:55??
Best current motor by far is the Ford 5.2 liter GT500 motor with just a pulley upgrade, Rev limit increase, E85 fuel, ported stock blower, long tube headers, no cats is making over 945hp to the wheels of a GT500!! That's impressive
No big block? Those engines are heavy, but when modified can make an easy 500 horsepower with a good cam and some aftermarket aluminum heads. I have a buddy that was just trying to modify his big block in his chevelle, and when he put the new parts on, it started pushing 700 horsepower. Those things are damn crazy and make gobs of torque. More powerful than any small block, I’m afraid.
My mom once owned a, far from stock, Cleveland 4 barrel that made roughly 500hp. A guy bought it, and the transmission, for a little Datsun drag truck.
Z06 C6 owner here...LS7 FTW!
*LT1* don’t matter what car you put it into, if you had it under your hood your car rode fast, no one ever complained about a slow LT1
Quick-spooling turbos are my preference
love your ending dude
My stepdad had a rig rocket, a 2003 heavily suped up 5.9 2500, he raced a Viper dodge once and smoked it, we were at the 2nd set of lights by time he started to finally pull up on us. Worse yet, the viper truck was just the driver, meanwhile there was a full truck of us teenagers with my stepdad and he had the big tidy tank that when full weighs 1500lbs (it wasn't full but did have quite a bit in it), and tons of tools and oilfield chains and such for his job as a heavy equipment operator. Buddy was soooo pissed at his "racing" truck. He probably sucked at driving it, and they were geared wrong, but still, diesel torque is nuts
No replacement for displacement my choice.
Great video maybe next time from the big us engines do a best small, around 1000cc, car engines.
Hey guys,
Love your videos keep it coming!
How about digging up a few on steam powered cars,new & classics? They're out there,some where,steam powered trucks too.
A video just on steam engines would be interesting. There are really small outfits manufacturing steam engines for generating electricity, water pumps & transportation.Just a thought.
The Ford Ecoboost is a German engine line. The 3 and 4 cylinders are developted in Cologne.
Hope the hellcat will make one of these lists. Been an amazing engine since released in 2015
The SRT4 Caliber had a 100% completely different engine than the SRT4 Neon. Yes, they were both 2.4L turbocharged in-line 4 Cylinders, but they were completely unrelated.
very nice work, and you could have added the oldsmobile quad 4 2.3l of 180-190hp and the chevrolet Vega with the 2.0L Cosworth unit in 1975 ;)
What about the Ford Modular 6.8 V10?
nice video man!
I swear if I ever win the lottery I'm bringing Vis to America to do MPH Russia as opposed to FPS Russia. And he will go to Bondurant and every driving school. I swear he's a dude we would have been in Industrial arts with helping you bore out your tecumseh 5hp lawnmower motor!
