A small block V8 would be way simpler, more reliable, and run circles around it for a fraction of the cost.
That's why it will never be in mass production. It's an exponential increase in complexity for an incremental increase in efficiency over a modern VVT+Turbo engine. A small block at 200 hp isn't going to happen either, most of those are close to twice that number. That level of development is fine for the multimillion dollar hypercars and high level racing stuff. Higher efficiencies for pass cars aren't coming for ICEs, it's going to be EV. twocents
