When cubes are the cheapest horsepower, why isn't someone pushing this engine instead of everyone saying 360s are the future... I promise that smaller engines equal more rpm and thus more engine wear..
Added bonus.. Ford and Toyota already have engines..
Open your eyes people.. Cost rreduction is needed..

It makes way too much sense, therefore, it's never going to happen... :/
Opinions may vary...

Yet NASCAR engines are 360 ci per thier rulebook and they are looking at REDUCING ci and horsepower with their next engine package .... Just because Ford and Toyota have an engine doesn't mean that they will every push i or market it.
