why? they haven't needed to. the only reason you see engine changes is to meet new emissions laws. for some reason gm can still do it with pushrod motors.

+1. It costs a lot of money to develop and test new engines. If the ones you have work and work well, there is no reason to spend the money making something else that does the same thing.
