Our Engine Compared to Modern engines

How efficent and how heavy are the pistons and crank in our cars compared to a modern engine such as current chevy v8 besides being low on horsepower due to head and fuel system desighn.






Could you rev our engines to modern 6000rpm speeds.

They're about the same as anything of similar displacement.
