I remember hearing a rumor that that motor ahs reliability issues with conrods. I dunno. Oh yeah, you can put a supercharger on anything, but if you need a blower and intercooler to make 450 lb/ft, I am not excited. Still waiting to see turbocharging become more popular with V-8's. I'd rather have a widsor, relatively easy normally aspirated 500 hp and lb/ft with a single 4bbl and pump gas.
