That is a ridiculous statement. Pushrod engines are the simplest design, offer a significant amount more displacement when comparing physical size, weigh less, and straight up destroys a DOHC engine in torque. Not to forget that OHV engines make more hp AND tq at lower RPMs and carry that hp and tq far longer.You like DOHC engines? Where is your DOHC engine's peak hp/tq at? Like from 6,500-7,500 RPMs? OHV represents true American V8 muscle. Leave those tiny high winding engines to those short 135lb skinny-pants wearing Civic drivers with baseball caps on backwards. Ford sold out. And they can barely keep up. On engine alone, we would destroy them. It wouldn't even be a contest. You'll see. At the same weight and with the same gearing, the larger displacement OHV engine will straight up walk a DOHC engine all day every day.
