Default Great SAE engine article!

Talks about the old school, archaic LS2/7. I know it doesn't have DOHC and VTEC or VANOS, etc., but it still gets the job done.

Also has info on the new R6 BMW engine and Volvo V8 down the page.

Nice article thanks for posting it Quikag...and FYI, we're on Double VANOS now and rapidly moving beyond that. I'm curious to see what BMW's 4+ liter V8 in the E90 M3 will do...too bad it doesn't pack the torque of the LS.

The E90 M3 engine is going to rev north of 8,000rpm and make around 400hp is my guess. Unfortunately, 400hp doesn't it cut it anymore.
