@footballcoreano I’m a mustang guy first off. I own two now and have had 16 total in my life. I’ve got the ford V8 tatted on my throat and the running horse on my back & the only Japanese car I’ve ever owned is a 90k mile JDM ‘98 Subaru Forester. I’m a fan of the mechanics that go into an engine and I can appreciate all kinds of engines from Porsches to Mercedes and GM & Ford and Toyota & Nissan. Every company makes great engines like the GM LS series down to the lil Chrysler 2.2L POS in early caravans. I’m far from a fanboy Haas, I buy, build, race, rebuild, & race some more. Get off your high horse Bud, these comment sections are made for good times not bummers like you. PS, what I was referring too is the nice firing order sound of these motors too. I’m a huge mustang fan and I know the coyote is an amazing engine but I truly do NOT like the sound of that engine. It’s that odd firing order that does it. However, that 5.2 Voodoo motor with that flat plain crank is the sound of my dreams. I’m building an oldskool 347 pushrod stroker for my current project but if I could line one up it would have a big turbo Barra in my ‘84GT T-top. I do like the DOHC 281 4.6 litre engines Ford has made as well. I’ve had two of them, both all aluminum. One was running great with 160k on it in a ‘96 cobra and I blew the other one up with 68k on it in an ‘03 Mach1. No power adders or anything. I’m a Mustang guy but I can appreciate just about anything out there, the fact is that driving is fun.

I don’t know the ‘how to’ parts but I do recall seeing and manual swapped IS200/400 local to me. Everything like that has to be engineered (costs $000) and certified here in Oz and I don’t know if it got through. Haven’t seen it about in ages. Was a top sounding vehicle that went hard. Just do it and send it!

I can attest to this. My LS400 motor is fantastic. And yes, it needs a head adjustment

Toyota makes great engines and yet they blundered putting BMW B58 into the new Supra. Seriously. BMW V8's are notorious for issues which dramatically reduce service life.

Me : pats car hood and slowly starts chanting : 1 u z...1uz....1UZ. 1UZ!! My only beef is that they put the alternator below the power stearing at the last minute. If the power steering leaks, it leaks on the alternator. Other than that in my opinion its God's gift over all foreign "small blocks."

May u do a list of some of the most reliable engines ever built? For instance, the K series, OM617/OM606, Jaguar 3.8, BMW M50/M52/M54, 2JZ? As a modern engine, despite the timing chain being at the back of the engine, the B58 is already showing signs of it most likely being a bulletproof engine (tuneability and reliability) , putting it up with the likes of the engines with the best reputation. The stock bottom end (which is forged like its rods.) can handle up to 700hp+. The engine can also reliably handle up to 550-600 wtq stock. It also has a closed deck design, like a 2JZ making it capable of handling high boost. The EA888/EA855 are also great modern engines.

@@hexagonosaurus5848 The N54 also has an aluminium block, even a K series has an aluminium block, and a B58. and ik that the auxiliary parts of an N54 suck. The M54 is one of the most reliable BMW engines ever made, the piston rings are literally the only concern. The engines only burn oil if they fail. Even then the piston rings are strong. Every engine has its own problems.
