I love the morons who criticize the pushrod motor for being "old tech" when the DOHC motor came out almost 40 years earlier.

Then you get the next group of idiots who use the displacement argument. Yes, the pushrod motor may be 6L next to your DOHC 4L. Then they don't want to hear that the pushrod motor they are comparing is lighter, smaller packaging, makes more power AND is more fuel efficient. Who gives a crap if it has a 30L displacement if it is externally smaller, lighter, more powerful and more efficient?
