Ford’s famed flathead V-8 was revolutionary when the automaker put the engine into production in 1932. It brought the V-8 to the mass market and ready power to hot rodders for decades to come. But its design would eventually make it outdated. After more than two decades of service, the flathead V-8 was finally laid to rest in 1954 in favor of an overhead-valve design.  Why did Ford kill the…

Waterstof gaat al onze problemen oplossen. Blijven rijden zoals we gewend zijn, lekker gassen, broem broem! Toch?

Waterstof gaat al onze problemen oplossen. Blijven rijden zoals we gewend zijn, lekker gassen, broem broem! Toch? Allereerst kost de productie van waterstof heel veel energie. Maar dat geldt ook voor benzine, en in de prijs daarvan zit niet het bedrag verrekend voor alle schade die het aanricht bij en na gebruik. Maar vooral, hoe gaan we dat allemaal meenemen en wil je dit in je garage? Kijk…

Understanding BMEP @Mac’s Motor City Garage

BMEP—that’s short for Brake Mean Effective Pressure—is an important yardstick in engine development. Here’s Jason Fenske of Engineering Explained to sort it out for us.

There is more than one way, naturally, to consider the potential work we can perform when we combust fuel and air in the cylinders of a piston engine. One familiar…

Mclaren 720S Gear Shifts are too Fast for a VBox Datalogger to Measure

The McLaren 720S can’t stop impressing us. Just last week we published an article featuring a compilation of 30 drag races featuring a McLaren 720S of which it won 28, losing only to a heavily modded Nissan GT-R and a Porsche 918 Spyder. More recently, it was Engineering Explained that brought to light the 720S’ another […] The post Mclaren 720S Gear Shifts are too Fast for a VBox Datalogger to Measure appeared first on The Supercar Blog.

The Best Engines - 2018 Ford Mustang GT 5.0L V8

By Dave Ashton

Saying which is the best pony or muscle car engine can be a subjective matter if not backed up with a few facts and figures. It doesn’t help with the big three rivalry to get to the pros and cons of each engine as we all have our preferences, so it’s down to the likes of guys at Engineering Explained to give some reasoning behind current engines and what is their good and bad points.

This video is the start of a series reviewing engines that have won awards, focusing on those from the Wards Auto 10 Best engines of 2018 Awards. As everything has been thrown into the mix for these awards from all carmakers, it’s only the 2018 Ford Mustang GT 5.0L V8 that gets a look in from the pony/muscle car camp. We obviously would have liked to have seen more in the top 10, but considering every car manufacturer out there, getting one V8 engine in the top 10 is still pretty good.

The Ford Coyote 5.0L V8 engine is the focus here, which also got into the top 10 in 2011 and 2012. Producing 460Hp and 420lb. ft. of torque, you get a real in-depth review here with lots of stats. Ford fan or not, the video itself makes for very interesting viewing the made in the future even cover some of the other top V8’s to hit the streets.
