... late model push-rod OHV engines. Why is it that the only overhead cam V8 engine that GM has is the 4.6l Northstar which is exclusive to Cadillacs?

Don't mis-read me folks... for many years I always had a preference to GM's... that was also 15 years ago. But it's time to read the writing on the wall. Oldsmobile got the axe what... 2, 3 years ago? The Corvette is still a joke with it's poor construction and lack of handling ability (good car for going fast in a straight line). I've taken to counting the stress cracks in the fiberglass of a customer's 2004 'Vette... always find new ones every time that car comes in. Pontiac Aztec... need I say more?
