Re: pushrod / modular
I'm thinking modular must refer to overhead cam engines, which don't use pushrods. Engines like the 2.4 TwinCam, or 2.2 Ecotec. Ford calls their 4.6 a modular engine, and it is overhead cam.

Re: pushrod / modular
Yep, the 2.2 in second gens (92) are OHV, which means it uses pushrods, and the cam is in the bottom end. Why didn't chevy make my 2.2 SOHC? Is there really a difference in power?
