Why does this crank not have any oil holes in it? I thought that helps reduce friction where the rods meet the crank.
The other crank you shared "the consumer V8" does have oil holes.
On another note, I have been a long critic of pushrod V8 muscle because of their refusal to move to DOHC. The Ford Mach1 (4 valve) and Dodge 4.7L V8 made me a true believer in the higher power per liter of the more efficient overhead cam.
Could we make a comparison between GM and Dodge being bankrupt and Ford still firing on all cylinders because of their incorporation of overhead cams? I certainly think so.
Yeah, I know I am out of line here.
