Mercury Marine small block DOHC
Those of us who visited Mercury Racing this summer saw their work and the mighty QC4v up close.
I didn't realize Mercury was working on a small block DOHC engine. read about it here http://www.mercuryracing.com/runway-...-road-to-sema/ and here http://www.noodls.com/view/3072B92D1...4xxx1415131016 I know this isn't exactly ZR-1 related, but it's interesting as it relates to the LT5 in a way.

Re: Mercury Marine small block DOHC
The information leads me to believe it is for LS blocks although it does not say so exactly- more like utilizes existing LS hardware- perhaps the crank,rods, and pistons along with the oiling system in a special block.

MM has been using GM blocks for many years. This is an LS block w DOHC heads. You can see that the cams are belt driven with an exterior cam drive. |

We've seen some more information about this since SEMA, but here's one more post to add to the discussion
