Or the bestIm not trying to be a jerk, but anyone who votes for the Hurricane, when they dont own one, is suspect.
I hope not, but it could end up being the worst engine ever produced. Full of issues

Editors note from the future: it wasn't.
Nope it's not. No one ever said the 5.7 was the best engine ever produced.Neither is the 5.7 Hemi.

NA in a gasser is always a better base. We've been through this DEG, it's why Ford doesn't use a tiny turbo in their F250s. The 5.7 actually has an excellent track record in the 2500. Its an iron block beast that can take a beating and come back for more, manifolds and lifters aren't a failure due to working too hard and lifter failure is not that common considering total hemi sales in the many millions.
Absolutely agree. I understand that the only reason V configurations are used is due to available space. You can squeeze a V into a smaller space than an inline with an equal number of cylinders.The F250s and 2500s are irrelevant to this discussion since there is no evidence Ram plans to use the Hurricane motor in those trucks. Also, and inline engine is always a better base than a V configuration.

"Always" is a dangerous word.
Not always.
It could end up being the best engine ever produced, ever since the EPA won't allow them to produce a V8.
