It won't require anything too exotic or expensive and won't easily be overstressed to the point of failure. Of high performance, good reliability, and low cost ... pick two.

I understand your 77hp/L, but talking purely from a marketing standpoint, why would Ford make a 380hp v8 when there is a lighter, 305hp v6? The last v6 and v8 differed by 105hp, I would expect a linearity to remain...
