Nissan Titan 5.6 V8

just get a damn turbine at that point. it'd be lighter and guzzle less gas. plus you'd have an afterburner

Sure about that fuel burn? I think you will be suprised how much the turbine engine burns.

I wonder who builds that engine for Merc quad cams and 9L V8

It's Merc's design and build from what I know. Find yourself a all alum LS 6.0L, tune it all with EFILive and your done. Pretty simple and that 6-oh makes good power with a good tune.

that "old tech" pushrod engine is 200lbs lighter, gets better fuel mileage, is half the size, makes more power and has a much better torque curve, thats why. do yourself a favor and keep your mouth shut, you're clueless.

why should i it's the USA last i knew so i can give my opinoin. I think the Northstar could be a nice engine just needs a few more inches . if it where 6L engine it could make big power its heads flow good and it realy isnt pushing its potential

I got to agree 120%. I think yesterday at this time 30 some odd cars just got done with 500 miles at over 8400RPM.

I know of a 69 C10 with a 99 5.3L, 4L80 and a big honkin turbo (15L On-Highway engine) that wastes a cammed, head'ed 6.0 GTO. Pretty impressive for old technology. Or perhaps my buddy with a 408" GTO with a Procharger. Making over 620HP at the ground.

These pushrod motors are MUCH more capable than you think.

ya i know they make good power but so dont the Toyota tundra 5.7 380 HP stock and over 400 Ft lbs torque and all aluminum.

and a 6.0 or 6.2L GM is 250lbs lighter, makes 400hp, is almost half the physical size, and gets better gas mileage than the "High tech" toyota v8

[455maveric]

come on 250 pound lighter i dont think so i would say they are about the same weight that is the aluminum LS engines but there not 250 pound lighter.

[1BadAction]

i dont think

you got that right

[455maveric]

Ok LS7 458 LBS Nissan Titan 5.6 228 KG or 505 LBS so i think the toyota tundra would be about the same now lets look at price LS7 used ? Nissan 5.6 $2000 toyota 5.7 $ 2500

Just watched an Iron/alum 6.0L sell at the local junk yard for $750 with ECM. Truck motor with 100K on it. Pretty cheap investment really.

You want an all alum. overhead motor??? Merc just came out with a 1300HP diamond......

[455maveric]

ya but the iron isnt 458 LBS but it is not to much though i bet it is only around 550 lbs
