You know, considering only 2 valves per cylinder, and no magic like VTEC, or dashpots and tappets, even a 2-bbl V8 makes a LOT of power comparatively to other high-tech engines that have these things. And they don't blow Apex seals every 5 minutes.

2-bbl by the way is CARBURETOR TYPE for all you EFI/TBI people. Jeez.

I bet it's frank in disguise!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png



And why would he get banned? It's not like he insulted vosko's dead car liek fre or anything.

Well wait, there is no need for namecalling and banning. I wasn't being mean or rude, I'm just pointing out something. Touchy touchy.

I guess he was doing something wrong and had to move to something where computers do everything for you. But even then why get an FC if they have electrical problems so much..

No, actually he was a dumbass. It was just ironic beause he has a 71 SS and is interested in rotarys.



He doesent act like a boner though.

theres nothing terribly impressive about big displacement making big power. do more with less, we do it without a valvetrain, pushrods, connecting rods, cams, or timing chains. Did I mention less weight too? Oh, and rotary engines havent even recieved a fraction of the development v8's have, we get superb performance from a design from mazda (hah!) consisting of iron rotating components and iron engine housings. Imagine if a real performance company made an attempt.
