FWIW, the Vulcan is still only up to 155 hp; a 5 hp gain since its inception back in 1986 in the first Tauri. I believe 186 ft-lbs of torque though, at a nice low 3900 RPM. Gotta love those engines that produce more torque than HP. 
The original Tauri had 140 hp.
And as far as pushrod engines go, only GM knows how to make a modern one! And some fabulous pushrods over there - the 3800 V6, and all the Vortec V-8's plus the 5.7L Vette.
And GM knows how to make automatic transmissions too! Aren't some of the latest M-B's using GM hydramatic transmissions?
