…With a few exceptions like the Buick/Rover,small capacity V8’s are a waste of time and development money…
Remarkable assertion, given the evidence: All the German multinationals, plus JLR, use small V8s for their big cars. If fuel was as plentiful as it was after the war, 7.5 tonne trucks would have them, for the weight saving. The fact that they would be snabbe would be a bonus.
Just to be clear I was specifically referring to NA engines not forced induction.In which it’s clear that the Volvo B30 and arguably the Vauxhall/Bedford 6 was superior to the B36 which is why the 164 car wasn’t a 184.Also probably why the Rolls B81 straight 8 was superior to the B36 too.While yes forced induction is a game changer which creates numerous possibilities including the fact that a spark ignition version of current diesel types can be more or less as fuel efficient.However again when comparing like with like there is a point where small can be too small.Hence the Rover V8 starting out at 3.5 litre and ending up at 4.6 and the forced induction Jag V8 starting at 4 litre and going to 5 litre.
Amazing how much can be found in the cloud…a real variety of chassis with even a tipper and
an aviation elevator for providing aircrafts. But I don’t find genuine vans, but that might be a minority
anyway in Scandic countries?
