A V8 with around 400hp is the perfect power for everyday driving, it's pretty relaxing compared to smaller engines. My daily commute is mostly rural roads with hills and partly a lot of slow traffic like delivery trucks e.g. and by driving a 1.2 80hp car and later a 1.8 125hp van (those power figures are pretty common here in germany), I didn't need to even think to overtake someone, very frustrating... Now I have a 2013 Mustang GT and it's pretty chill cruising around listening to that beautiful sound, knowing that the power is there if I need it. Plus, that US V8 rumble is not that common in germany, it's very refreshing, especially the old V8's. Hope they'll never become extinct.

The best V8 engine in my view is one that gives you many many many miles without having too to many repairs. Nothing worse than a motor that has way too many components break down before the engine is put to pasture. But to extend the life of any motor you must use good synthetic oil and change the oil frequently because any oil whether it's conventional oil made of crude oil or synthetic oil, they both get just as dirty, so also pick your oil filter wisely and don't buy a cheap one. I have a Ford V6 5.4 L 3 valve engine, and although those motors have issues with roller followers, and VCTs that stick and make a ticking noise, I haven't changed any of those components yet, and I haven't ever changed the timing chain either. That being said, I only changed the starter at 290,000 miles, and everything else, I mean EVERYTHING is original. Truck has now 324,000 miles on it.

Gm LS/Vortec V8s . I work at a diesel shop but we also maintain a few fleets of delivery vehicles and most of them are GM gas V eights and those things blow my mind. We had a truck come in there the other day that needed a transmission and it was a 2013 or so 3500 Chevy with a 6.0 L V8 it had 689,000 on the original engine and the engine had never had any internal work done. We did have to put a transmission in it which wasn’t a big deal but the thing still runs like a scalded dog it just blows my mind how good it runs after that many miles pulling that big box truck. We have another 2500 sitting in the parking lot that has a 4.8 L Vortech V8 and it also has a little over 600 thousand on it. These trucks run two shifts a day day and night and sometimes they can go a week without the engine even cooling off during peak delivery times. they take a freaking beating. They are out lasting the diesel trucks working along side them. That’s why these team truck owners Are buying these versus the newer diesel’s being a diesel mechanic I don’t blame them at all . They’re way cheaper to maintain not enough difference in the fuel mileage to matter. I can’t think of any gas engine currently on the market that would replace these and give us good service for the same cost . The best thing about them is they’re not overhead cam and they don’t have all this modern complicated timing junk and they still get better than average fuel mileage for engines their size. The new little diesel Ford transits get pretty good fuel mileage but they’re junk and the Dodge / fiat pro masters are junk also we have a few of those that roll through.

@Tanner-bg2qn 4 жыл бұрын

GregStickels in my personal opinion and experience any push rod motor is more reliable than say the over head cam motors like the coyote powered 5.0 mustang. That’s why LS motors are swapped in pretty much anything race ready including a vast majority of mustangs esp light foxbody’s. It’s got nowhere near as many parts as an 32 valve quad cam coyote and the parts are easy to find and cheap along with being a whole lot easier to work on. Dodge also uses push rod motors and their 5.7’s and 6.4’s are pretty damn stout if you take care of them esp the 6.4. Over head cam motors are nice and all, they’re able to turn more rpms and at a quicker pace than a traditional push rod V8 without having to worry about floating the valves but ford needs to use a stronger valve train because that set up puts more strain them. Example: my dad bought a 2015 zl1 camaro making 500 to the wheels in factory form. With only 4,000 bucks he’s bumped that number up to around 800 on motor and 900 on nitrous. Ive known dudes to spend 30,000 alone on a coyote motor just to make around 1,000-1,200 horses. My dad made 900 horses with only 4,000 AND he bought a power glide tranny that was 1500 by itself. Which is like I said another reason why the ls platform is the working mans power plant because it’s so cheap. Hell a stock ls bottom end whether it’s a 4.8, 5.3, 6.0, or 6.2 will hold 1,000 hp. Scotty can say whatever about GM but I truly believe they realize most of their loyalty is in their V8 platform which is why they focus more in that area and so far they have yet to disappoint. Sorry for the long reply but i judge my motors on how much abuse they can take and still run compared to your regular joe blow who rarely even drives hard enough to blow the carbon buildup out.

Got my Mustang GT and can never look back. Screw the gas mileage when you can have fun driving on the open road.

Real question is do you have an Audi that gets 8mpg 🤨

Sir thank you so much for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us! I have found it extremely helpful and much of my car research. Thank you again for doing what you do!

Scotty, I've got a 2014 kia soul with 174000 miles. The engine is worn out despite regular maintenance and a used replacement with 99000 miles is nearly 4000 bucks. Would you junk the whole car or is there a cheeper option?

I think you totally missed the point here Scotty. They asked what the best V8 was. GM’s LS V8 is easily the reigning king. Unlike Chrysler or Ford V8’s, GM’s design seems to be the most refined and therefore the most reliable and can handle FAR more abuse than its competitors. I believe they want the best DESIGNED V8 or rather the best V8 architecture and that would be the LS full stop.

Please...I love an LS but the Coyote is king by FAR...out of the box they are stronger and are way more efficient...but LSs are like Lego kits Yotes are still new
