Re: C8 Mid-Engine Motor
I sure hopes that’s not the motor going in the car,can’t GM make an attractive motor anymore? Even the base LT1s in the 96 Corvette was simple,nice to look at.

Re: C8 Mid-Engine Motor
Geez guys are you not reading the posts in this thread? #10 has a link that explains what “hot V” is and it’s history.

Re: C8 Mid-Engine Motor
Lots of innovation there. When I look at this package, I start to have maintenance heartburn. Beginning to look like Ferrari packaging and would require the engine to be pulled for anything beyond oil and air filter changes. The Mercury Marine crate engine looks much easier to "work on".

See the exhaust exits on the 4.2 DOHC TT, perfect for both front engine and mid engine applications.

Any DOHC motor really needs ease of access for cam install/timing and cylinder head work. But u already know that 🤗 That SBC 4 is awesome because of the LS7 bottom end and the belt drive cam system. Not to mention its nit any taller than an LS motor. 750hp NA. Wow!
