5.0 or EcoBoost?

They could do a turbo/direct injection pushrod motor I don't care as long as it's competitive.

They will be unveiling the Gen V motors here within a year or so. I wouldn't be surprised to see just that.

If they manage to get a 4-valve (or even just 3-valve) cylinder head for an OHV engine without that Harley-Davidson lookalike fWONKin' twin-cam setup that had been under development some years ago it could increase the efficiency with the direct injection. I have never seen any spark-ignited engine fitted with direct injection that had less than 2 intake valves (except 2-stroke ones, obviously).

The LS5 is rumored to be direct injection.

If it retain the essential 2-valve OHV layout of the current small-blocks it would still be compact enough to fit almost everywhere.

They're both good engines but i would personally go with the eco boost it seems more stout than the 5.0

I say 5.0.

1) It's not a V6
2) With boost, it can be a beast
3) The sound alone is intiminating

5.0 FTW

1) It's not a V6

Seems like I'm not the only one who dislike V6 engines. But since it has some boost I could actually consider it as an option...

The only 6 cylinder engines I like are either from Cummins or sporty European cars. IMO, boost will cause reliability problems with the EB. Being under boost for long hauls can cause premature wear or failure.

I also like Cummins and some European INLINE-6 engines such as BMW ones and the old ones made by Mercedes-Benz. About boost: I'm not so afraid of it because current productive processes allow to make engine parts beefy enough to handle with it, and have been used successfully in other markets.
