Since being introduced in 1989, six-cylinder Cummins diesel engines have enjoyed years of success. In addition, the 6.7L Cummins I6 is a good engine, earning high levels of owner satisfaction while powering several generations of Ram pickup trucks since 2013, and given the dominance of the Cummins 5.9L 6BT and its 6.7L I6 turbo diesel replacement, it's understandable if you find yourself asking if Cummins even makes a V8.

For Ford fans, the performance years of the 1960s brought one advancement after another, and that time line begins with Ford’s assault at Indy in 1963 with its DOHC V-8 based on the small-block Windsor. Meanwhile, Ford’s “big-block”—the FE engine family—which began modestly in 1958 at 332-, 352-, and 360-cubic-inch displacements—had by the time of this story grown to 427 cubes and would power Ford to wins at Le Mans in 1966 and 1967. The subject of Eric Dahlquist’s original story, the 427-ci SOHC “Cammer,” was based on the FE and showed what could be done quickly within the warrens of Ford powertrain. At the time, it was unknown whether the engine would see production in factory-built cars (it wouldn’t), but for a short time the hemi-headed cammer would please crowds in A/FX cars built by Holman & Moody and Bill Stroppe Engineering before becoming a darling in the nitro-fueled ranks in front of drivers like Don Prudhomme, Connie Kalitta, Jack Chrisman, and Don Nicholson. —Johnny Hunkins.

In my 35-plus years of working on cars, I have encountered nearly every frustrating troubleshooting problem in the book. Part of the issue stems from my affinity for old Jeeps and classic cars, which tend to generate more problems due to the deterioration of decades-old rubber gaskets, seals, and hoses. While it's usually easy to locate an oil or coolant leak thanks to the drip, stream, or fountain of liquid coming from said leak, finding vacuum leaks can be a less straightforward process.

Automakers are always looking for new and innovative ways to improve efficiency, something that is becoming harder and harder to achieve as cars get both larger and heavier. Honda's latest idea - discovered by CarBuzz in a filing at the United States Patent and Trademark Office - is one of the most novel we've ever come across, employing "spinners" attached to belts laid along a car's bodywork, air injectors, and suction fans to change the aerodynamic properties of the vehicle. Unlike the innovative McMurtry Speirling, which has a fan sucking the car to the ground, Honda's patent aims to manipulate the air that flows around and over the body of a car, not that under it. Let's take a closer look.
