I think it is because our own Justin T. Westbrook is a Tesla fanboi. Tesla can do no wrong, so he has to wildly alter his world view to accommodate someone making a batter car.

There are only Toyota eunuchs, not Toyota guys

The 2.5 was the first of the ‘Nano’ family and it was designed by Porsche for Ford. The Mazda V6 of the time is the same engine the Jag got VVT originally but Ford didn’t go with VVT until the Fusion, if memory serves.

Look fucktard, the pushrod has gone the say of bias ply tires, body on frame architecture and the carburetor in every other manufacturer in the world, you are a fucking idiot.

It isn’t hate it is combating idiocy. The LS is simply less efficient/more wasteful and as such is an abomination. Every rotation of the crankshaft wastes gas. In a truck, fine, use pushrods and solve your problem with displacement. In a car, not so much.

Yes, the 3.oTT is transverse mounted, just like the 2.5 in the X-type from the factory. In fact, it is the same block and head castings. The MMT6 is the same case as the MTX5 and from the Focus RS should have the transfer case in a similar/the same position. It should (mostly) bolt in and be an electrical engineering…

I’m considering doing a 3.0TT (out of a Continental) with a MMT6 6 speed (out of a Focus RS) in my 2004 X-type replacing the 2.5 and 5 speed. I can see 400HP/400lbft in a car with less than half that from the factory.

I made the statement, you refuted it, the burden of proof is on you.

Yes, packaging is a tiny concern. the people building the engines have control of building the engine bays.

Carry on. I can take snark, it’s sheer idiocy I can’t take.

Truck engine. long connecting rods = torque, but also low RPM.

Saying “what white people do” is clearly, undeniably, egregiously racist.

“Influencers” only have influence if you watch/follow/listen to them.

Proof or shut the fuck up, idiot.

where?

Ok, how about i get a screaming chicken for the Lincoln?

A coyote makes the same power as an LS2 and weighs 20 pounds less. If you could bolt coyote heads on an LS2 you’d make ~25% more power.

I thought *I* was fancy.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.
