(10-30-2009, 04:39 PM)HoleshotHolset Depending on how you interpret that statement - it might not be technically true. The GM/Isuzu 6.6L Duramax has outboard exhaust manifolds - just like nearly any other V-configuration engine ever made. In fact, I can't think of any other V-configuration engine that doesn't have outboard exhaust manifolds.On my Granddad's ranch were two Cadillacs, a '38 and a '39 with flathead V-8s that had BOTH the intake and exhaust manifolds in the inboard "valley" location. In fact, most flathead "V" engines did it that way because it made more sense than running the hot exhaust gases all the way through the engine to the outboard side. Look at a flathead with the head off and you will see what I mean. Ironically, it was Ford that bucked that wise practice with their flathead V-8s and V-12s, and they were hot running engines as a result. Maybe Ford is now trying to make up for that.
This new Fjord engine has inboard exhaust manifolds in the valley (where the intake manifold would normally be) - unlike anything else I've ever seen...and honestly - the way to do things the RIGHT way if you need to put your turbo in the valley for packaging reasons.

… will it be a Power Joke? Well, those connecting rods look awfully spindly to me. Also, it looks scarily complex to me..... more stuff to go wrong.
