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.

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.

After watching this I just have one question. Who makes the best V8?

[@Tanner-bg2qn]

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.

The first few years of the 4.6L SOHC V-8 were somewhat underpowered, i.e. 1996-1998, as FMC didn't design the valve train to be free-breathing enough to make really big power. The Cobras were OK, but those had an aluminum block and heads DOHC hand-built 4.6L distinct from the SOHC version, which was an iron block. The Cobras made 305 hp, 300 foot-pounds of torque. The SN95 Mustangs, however, are celebrated as some of the best-sounding V-8s ever built. A well-set up 1998 Cobra can sound awesome, as can the 2003-2004 Cobras. The Terminators made what was, for the time, awesome power and torque from a small-block, 390 HP and 390 pound-feet of torque. Conservatively rated; the true value was something closer to 430 for both figures.

And sure, todays modern 4 cylinder and V6 engines put out as much or more power than say, mid to late 90s V8s, it's of note that horsepower isn't everything. Where a V8 shines is delivering that horsepower along with a whole lot of torque. Torque delivery is a forgotten, but very important statistic in vehicle performance, especially for pickup trucks and SUVs. Yes the Hellcat editions are impressive and are extremely fast and powerful. They are also stupidly heavy cars still (challenger coming in at almost 4k lbs). They also handle like a brick. That's where Ford and GM has picked up the pace since around 2010. Their pony cars like the Mustang, Camaro SS and Corvette are literally holding their own against European supercars in terms of cornering and handling in their upper tier package models.

@@lovethesmellofracefuelinth7374 my plan is to bring it to Arlington performance and have them do it, keeping my block and have them replace all internals, they will bore as the pistons aren't drop ins, balance, and dyno. The aggressive cam won't be as big a deal with my tranny being the tarmac(guy at work told me that automatics have problems with being streetable with aggressive cam, he's been seriously into drag racing for 30 years,think his mustang is like low 9 second car)

@@lovethesmellofracefuelinth7374 that 13.5 price has got to be with your old engine as a core? I haven't seen it any lower than 20k, and that hellephant is gonna be 25-30 I would imagine- and supposedly won't be available for street use only track and off road use

I only buy V8's or inline 6's, I don't care about mpg's either. Real trucks have an inline 6, or a V8, or a regular V6. A 20 year old V8 is still better than a newer inline 4

[@jasonvoorhees6657]

I got a 92 gmc 2500 with a 292 inline 6 and it is fucking awesome

[@dillon5938]

Plus those inline 4’s with turbo’s always have mechanical issues

@blackandgold51 I'd stick with the 454. The I6 might get a little better mileage, but won't have near the power.

Love my 302 in my 94 f150, sounds great when I get on er.

[@ariveitz1941]

Yep it's got rythmm and bass

[@trwsandford]

hmm, my take is more old school utility v8s I like the Ford 302, and the Chevy 350.. either one could go a few hundred thousand miles I will tip my hat to the reliability of the slightly more modern 4.6L Ford of the police cruiser Crown Victorias.

The best V8 hands down is whichever one you prefer. At the end of the day we are all consumers.

[@Sideways_N55]

C7 Z06 gets 20-24mpg Highway according to a lot of different owners. That’s pretty acceptable for a car that has more power and can out handle a lot of higher priced cars imo.

[@chtwdb]

Your V6 video must have been made later, because I agree with what you said in that video about smaller engines having to work harder (higher rpm etc.) to turn out the same horsepower. When you have to do a lot of hauling of heavy equipment/materials you don't want an engine that is going to wear out for the same horse power. I hope the V8 is around for very long time!
