LT1 engine to be built at Tonawanda engine plant in Buffalo. Premium fuel recommended, but not required. Spark plug is in the center of the chamber. Intake and exhaust valves are reversed. There will be an optional 11.5 quart dry sump oil system available for the new LT1 V8 6,600 RPM fuel cut off in the new LT1 motor All the new technologies on the LT1 make it a heavier motor than the LS3 Patent-pending PCV system Final performance ratings will come in 2013 LT1 Engine build animation video --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9E-DQ1qQyJk Peak horsepower around 6,000 RPM; peak torque around 4,000 RPM New combustion process to be documented in an SAE paper to be published in the Spring of 2013 LT1 is the first OHV engine with Direct Injection i'm actively not interested in owning one now

Re: c7 engine specs out
I'm surprised at the discplacement staying up at 6.2 liters for the new GEN V small block Chev engine.
There seems to be a lot of new technology being used in the new C7 Vette engine wise, but quite a bit of it has been used prior in other platforms. eg.DOD(Displacement On Demand) later renamed AFM(Active Fuel Management used in many GEN 4 engine such as 6.2 L99 and 5.3 truck engines. VVT-Variable valve timing was used in earlier engines such as the 6.0 LY6 and some 6.2 GEN IV engines. Good thing about doing so is that the GEN V LT1 might be a well integrated and polished engine. Buy your 7.0l(427cid) engines while you can. peace Hog |
