Marge does it again.

Dennis: You can’t expect to wield supreme executive power just ‘cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!
Arthur: Shut up! 
Dennis: I mean, if I went around saying I was an emperor just because some moistened bint had lobbed a scimitar at me, they’d put me away!

I was being obtuse.

My apologies for the attack. This response is well thought out and makes some compelling arguments.

Agreed. Came here to say this.

Vary the overlap, or vary the intake v. the exhaust.

“Full lift” What about the other 99% of the time? What about tooling around and getting groceries? For part open valves, the velocity will be greater promoting torque. For fully open operation there is more area to force air through, promoting greater power. You are twisting in the wind sir and promoting a theory to…

I’ve been holding out so long
I’ve been sleeping all alone
Lord I miss you
I’ve been hanging on the phone
I’ve been sleeping all alone
I want to kiss you

YOU’RE AN ABIAN PUMA!

wtf is an abian puma?

That is pure Buick. Malign not Lincoln, sir.

Came here to say Buick, but i was sure someone had already said it.

Hey, it’s YOUR romantic partner. It is ok to say man/woman/goat/chicken/Maybach here.

I did not know that.

Doesn’t that kind of shoot holes in the “simpler is better” theory though?

Do you disagree that 4V is better than 2V?

LS3 is 20 pounds lighter than a Coyote and ~4.5" narrower.
4.5" is significant, 20 pounds is not.

4V/cylinder is better than 2V/cylinder. (almost?)Always.

Note: 1930s was quoted as when these were designed. That is incorrect. 195X is correct. I was thinking of the Chrysler 318 that debuted in the Sherman Tank and was…

those are Chryslers

‘98 Mark VIII 83 pounds 13 ounces with main caps.

I do. You have to pay for that somewhere. like mile gasage. They can run from efficiency, but they can’t hide. There is some kind of legerdemain going on here.

That said, all things are not equal. put the 4v heads in a car with 2V heads and everything improves, torque, power and mileage.

Ford started producing that engine in 1993 with the 32V4.6.
