Why are you posting a picture of the 5.4 in an SBC thread?

I was just thinking this!

Don't get your panties in a bunch, I was just messing with ya

At least I didn't ask you to change your spark plugs

Another thought that had passed through my mind at the time

Small-block Chevy is one of the few gassers I like. It can still be an old piece of iron but crushes its opponents wherever they come.

It's gonna be hard for the Gen V to live up to the I/II and III/IV. Seems like the main selling points to them are the simplicity and reliability but from the sounds of it there isn't much simple with the upcoming V.

Everyone is going to be moving to DI so if the LS series doesn't go there, they will be left in the dust. It will be way more simple than a DOHC engine.

I wasn't really thinking DI as that isn't really much more complex, I'm thinking more along the lines of this cam- in-cam thing people are speculating (similar to what Chrysler has been using for a few years). I'm pretty sure they go to a system like that so that they can vary the timing on the exhaust independently (most difference is caused by adjusting the overlap) so that the VVT actually adds something to the engine besides an acronym. But definitely simpler than a DOHC engine but not as simple as an LS1 or 350.

I doubt they will go to the cam in cam thing right away. The LS series is already very reliable, efficient, powerful without DI, add that with VVT and you will have a wicked combo.

Twin-Cam in a small-block Chevy? No way...
