I think I was taken over by aliens on day and it has never been the same. I traded in my 1973 Gran Torino Sport Fastback With A 351 Cleveland Engine for a 1983 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera Brougham Sedan With A 2.8L V6 Engine. Still feeling the pain !!

I have owned many cars over the years. At the time I thought they were all great!! Howerer, if I knew back then what I know today, I would have kept all of them as they all had a special meaning. Feel free to share any comments on them!!

OHV engines place the camshaft in the block, using pushrods to operate valves in the head, prioritizing compact size and low-end torque.
OHC engines place the camshaft(s) directly on the head, allowing higher RPMs, better efficiency, and more power through reduced valvetrain inertia.
