Cars You DIDN'T KNOW Have the SAME ENGINE 

why the corvette C6.R 7.0 engine is the greatest Endurance racing Engine of its time.. (and even now)

Recommend comparison video with honda D Series and Hondas new 1.5T or the old honda J series single cam V6s and the newest Honda Dohc V6s.

​@Ted BlaQ hinestly. The C8.R engine is beautiful. I saw it up close and talked to an engineer at Rolex 24 this year

392 vs 5.0 vs 6.2

whatching you from the start, great thanks, dude, rly. sorry for late realising that “thumps up” button is important. it’s may be weird, but what about russian engines? maybe tank engines be interesting or heavy duty equipment. the are not behemoths in hp, but their reliability is more than a legend.

Thank you for that info as I've been living under a rock for my entire life. Speaking of rock, I just found out there's something called rock music. Is that true?

​@@jackandblaze5956 LMFAO... On a serious note, I had an older guy I worked with back in the day tell me the new (at the time) 5.7L Toyota engine was actually a Chevy small block that Toyota just tinkered with.. I couldn't deal with the sheer stupidity and had to walk away.

Jaguar and Mercedes both made use of small block GM engines the 305 and the 350. I remember working on several of these in my dad's machine shop when I was growing up.

@@smokindiesel5077one of the managers at autozone where i worked used to be a mechanic and he told me a similar story but that chevy let toyota borrow the design to get into nascar racing only, since the toyota 5.7 has nothing in common with the 5.7 sbc

He said it was a 4.6??

Same block from 3.5 to 5.0

Which is funny that Buick didn’t want to deal with that 215 and just tossed it to the highest bidder. I’ve worked on a good few but god are they not great motors.

Ah, I think they used the Olds head version rather than the nail head Buick.

​@@aydenjones5733 Absolute terrible motors. This is coming from someone who owns a 2001 Disco II. It gets terrible fuel mileage, with absolutely ZERO power!! Lol

Adding a little detail about the S70, the block is based on the M70 and the heads are based on the S50 that powered the E36 M3

@@alfredotovar8984 that’s pretty neat, I wonder if I could make s50 heads on an s70. It’s a stretch, I know

The cc8r has a pre terminator cobra/Lincoln Mark VIII teksid all aluminum blocks and 8 intake port B heads .the 03-04 terminators had iron blocks and 4 intake port C heads.

Or mark 8

Mach1 96-02 cobra

351 Cleveland, and later the Windsor

Those were notorious for blown head gaskets and leaky valve stem seals in the earlier models. Looked like a wonderful engine on paper. The 3.3-3.8 Chrysler which supplemented and eventually replaced it looked like a retarded throwback on paper but is an extremely durable and quite efficient engine. Probably the worst looking design on paper, but best in operation was the Chrysler slant 6. When I first saw pictures and drawings on the 1960 Falcon, Corvair and Valiant I immediately identified the slant 6 as being a retarded cast off design from a 1920s railroad locomotive. Fooled me.

Saab also used the German Ford V4 and the Standard Triumph inline Four. As for Triumph, the joke used to be that TR stood for "tractor" because the early four cylinder cars used the engine from Ferguson retuned to run at higher speed.

absolutely love that motor. it’s so funny hearing a straight pipe xc90 rolling by sounding like a domestic v8

The buick 215 that the rover v8 was based off of was built with a cast iron block that was notorious for rear main seal leakage. Buick sold the rights to the motor design to land rover and they created a "relative" equivalent to the 215 called the rover v8 that was forged out of aluminum. The rover v8 supplemented cylinder sleeves that were never pinned down from the factory which resulted in them braking loose as they got hotter and causing the notorious "liner slippage" that all rover v8 owners despise. Due to the horribly designed cooling system lr designed for the discovery, they're very notorious for blowing headgaskets along with the liners slipping. The 03s (4.6l v8) were predominantly the worst year of them all due to land rovers misaligned oil pump recall that caused many disco owners grief. I recently finished rebuilding my 03 discos 4.6l with a kent h180 cam, coil pack relocation kit, uprated valve springs, upgraded tappets and freshly milled heads. Believe it or not the electrical system in the discoverys arent as bad as you may think they are.

@@noahriker6995 liner only slips when the block cracks caused by some casting inconsistencies between the water jackets and cylinder walls

Head gaskets and cracked heads in Australia is common.

"mmmmmOOOOHHHHHnnnnn"

PRV is volvo worst engine

Was it not 215 Buick that LR and RR did use in all years!!

@@rvarsigfusson6163 Not sure is it 225 or 215

The picture was the 215. They used similar valve covers to the "nailhead".

That's what I was thinking, the 3.8 and 4.2 v6 are the same basic motor somehow. I could buy 3.8 lifters for a Commodore for land Rover v8s

They’re called modular for a reason. Ford used the 4.6 on EVERYTHING. Super cars, trucks, crown Vic’s, SUVs, Mustangs… you name it. They’re great because pretty much any mechanic can work on them. They’re very basic and cheap. You can go buy a new block for a couple hundred bucks! Wish Ford would bring it back.

@@angelgjr1999 I know they are all modular but there are variants as the 5.4 and 5.0 coyote are also modular plus aluminum or iron blocks different heads and quite a few other differences. I was just pointing out the same architecture doesn't mean the engines are the same.

@@ScrotieJohnson Same basic engine design. Iron block, aluminum heads. Very interchangeable parts.

What? VQs are pretty universally thought to sound like shit with most exhaust setups lmao

@@chickenfishhybrid44 2nd person ever to say they sound like shit.. Lmao

The V6 is the 2gr Toyota engine , used in the Camry's, sienna's etc. Also used in Lexus's...ES350,RX350, etc.

He also called it a turd, but the vibe and matrix are wondering hatch backs

That is a version of the 2nd generation Taurus SHO V8. And now it is an outboard boat engine....

​@Flies2FLL a very Heavy outboard engine, too.

@@h8troodoh Yamaha XTO: 963 pounds~

And there's a three valve version.

Like was used in the Volvo xc90 and s80.. 4.4 L, 311bhp, then Noble put it in some cars, with twin turbo, 600+bhp, and 60 degree banks as well.... Cool motor...

Haven't watched the video but I know you're talking koenigsegg, they had later models that produces way more with different head castings But also the ford 4.6 really is just a terrible engine naturally aspirated. 500 NA is a max effort build on a 4v 4.6 if you're not stroking/boring. Realistically to run on pump gas with boost your pre boost engine may make 435ish horsepower at most due to low compression. Put it this way, they're adding over 200 horsepower to the 03 cobra engine essentially while running about the same boost number. Pretty impressive.

Long term reliability, cost,

@@Prestiged_peck There are 03-04 cobra setups around that make 900 wheel hp... some of them were built in some guys home garage...I was just thinking why couldn't they do better than some guy with a limited budget building it in his garage??

@Bentboybbz how often do those 900 wheel cobras make 100k miles of abuse before needing another rebuild. You've seen the videos of koenigsegg doing everything to their cars but dropping them from orbit plus you have to factor in that those garage guys get to just remove every emissions system from their car illegally and have no real repercussions in most parts of the U.S. at least. Koenigsegg had to meet all factory emissions standards.

@@Prestiged_peck never lol

Oldsmobile only did more to refine it. If you look closely, you can see roots stemming from the old Nailhead and from the Buick 340

@@al_dente4777 Olds and Buick used different heads on the same block. Olds didn't care for the Buick "nailhead " approach.

BMW Mini was a Peugeot platform and powertrain

Wow actually? I have a 1.5l Ecoboost and was worried about longevity but this makes me feel better, which Ecoboost engine is it?

@@lethargicstove2024 not sure

If a British or Italian car doesen't leak, it only means that there's nothing in the pan

The Crossfire was an SLK and used the MB V6.

I wonder if this is related to the "iron duke" 4 cylinder as it's known in the US. It was only ever an overhead valve, iron head engine in the US I think.

This is the Iron Duke, and it powers the all the goofy looking mail trucks to this day.

1962 Chevy II four was a cut down of the new 6 that started that year. And that's the 2.5 you mentioned.

@chickenfishhybrid44 sort of yeah, there is a 1.0, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8, 2.0, 2.2, 2.4 and lastly a 2.5

@@anvilsvs No, it isn't. The Pontiac Iron Duke was a clean sheet design from the 1970's. Mercury Marine sells a 3.0 liter I/O engine for boats that is what you are talking about, a "stovebolt" inline 6 with two middle cylinders removed. And it sounds like a tractor, and it STINKS when it runs!

Like how Americans will say "jagwar" instead of "jagUar". It is fucking painful.

My favorites has always been anything with a 440 in it. Including Town & Country and New Yorkers. You do not realize how fast a 1966 New Yorker could go. In a long straight line.

No doubt about it ! They sound like an angry wookie with a megaphone 😂 I love their sound !

I can answer that. So, due to strict emissions, they had to use a different thermostat. This thermostat literally didn't work as it should and literally cooked the engine from the inside. A common fix is to use the TD5 thermostat that is found on the V8s in the other parts of the world to prevent damage to the engine. You can thank the epa for that silly thermostat rule.

The USA is a massive country with hugely varying climates, and long distances with mountain ranges to climb. We drive up mountain passes in Africa style heat at 80MPH, expecting no breakdowns. The old Buick V8 proved too feeble to withstand this usage. Britain is tiny, no real mountains, and cool climate!! Also, our idea of reliability is a bit different, our (American) cars are mostly rubbish, but the powertrains are reliable under careless use and poor maintenance.

@@timmcooper294 Not really, I thought this also , But a lot of Brtis will take their cars through the channel tunnel to other parts of Europe where the climate is similar to that of US. Not to mention these cars are in several even harsh places around the world, Africa and Australia are some examples. Also the UK has MOTD where you have to not only get it smogged, your car has to be physically ok on the outside. You have no choice but to maintain it until it rusts itself to death. On top of that in the States they over charge you on repairs and try to tell you its a luxury car. Its one of the easiest cars to work on but yet they charge an arm and a leg The 215 isn't as fragile as people think its just a bit underpowered. Im more of the fan of the 300TDI and TD5.

@@Hairybarryy "Not really" HaHa! Been into Land Rovers since the 1980's, and personally watched the history play out here in the states, been to Europe, too.......Tiny place compared to the states. Soooo many of these cars went to the crusher here on the west coast with dead engines but otherwise totally solid. These engines die out west in the heat !! Say all you want, but you can't change history........ It was such a shame to see otherwise good vehicles scrapped in shocking numbers due to the over-rated feeble weakling of an engine.... I can never forgive it for that !! I love old Land Rovers, but there are fundamental, factual reasons why many engines that did well in Britain were notoriously unreliable here in the big wide open spaces. We ask way more of our engines here, and we take less care of them. Long term stamina and the ability to withstand lack of maintenance is the key to survival here. This engine killed so many good Land Rovers / Range Rovers..... What a shame...

@@timmcooper294 I mean engines just dont die from heat. There is scientific reasoning behind overheating engines on an engineering standpoint. Heat needs to be circulated away from the source properly. If it dosent this will cause damage. The thermostat is what caused a lot of these engines to fail. When the thermostat failed it will close. To say that these engines just failed from overheating shows you have no idea what you are talking about. If people actually did their research these cars would have lived a lot longer. all it needed was a thermostat and a accurate temperature gauge. I have a discovery 1 with 224,000 miles on the ODO. I live in a dry and hot climate of califonia near mountains. I beat the heck out this car going up and down trails every weekend. The engine while weak is stout and it doesn't overheat. Bottom line is these cars fail due to stupidity and carelessness
