GM Gen 5 engine pic

First Peek at the Gen-V V8 From GM! - LSXTV



Weird.

Same shitty ass blue filter that came on my LS3. lol

Groovey

I'd buy that for a dollar!

I like it. Looks like the exhaust manifolds are larger than the current manifolds. As for the valve covers, looks to be longer pushrods? Maybe for longer duration?

holy valve covers

Huh,so we can tell exactly jack shit from that photo, other than speculating about a dozen possible reasons why the valve covers are a bit taller. :lol:

It's diesel :lol:

Hopefully still somewhat swappable to my 4th Gen. Crossing fingers

Not sure why you would. It would no doubt be an incredible hassle and high cost, especially considering the availability and ease of putting in an LS3, LS7 or similar.

I dont think so....I cant even really respond to this as a smart ass.

Seriously? Is that why you think it would have larger valve covers? They need more duration so instead of a cam profile change they add some longer pusrods?

OHC maybe? Hopefully not but it is GM..

Ok, despite my previous post, it is most assuredly not an overhead cam motor. pretty obvious ;)

Just to see something a little different in our cars. Could have used my words differently I suppose. I would like to see someone do it. Will I? Probably not, because when the current Gen prices drop, I will probably end up with some version of an LS3. Cheaper and easier, you are right.

Well, that's what I'm going by. Those raises look like they are there for added clearance. At first, I thought they covered the coil packs, which they don't as the coil backs are next to the raises on the valve covers. OR...they are RECESSES for the coil packs. OR...the heads are low profile. More info and specs are needed.

i have an odd feeling (in my wallet) that the holes in the exhaust manifolds are O2 sensor bungs...so i'm going to guess that this thing is going to have 8 O2 sensors on the manifolds, possibly one on each down pipe and one after each cat that would be inline. a potential for up to 12 O2 sensors...holy crap...i hope not.

It says that those holes are for dyno testing if you go all the way down to the end of the article

Wtf would pushrods have to do with duration anyway?
Looks more like covering injectors to me as I can't see a rail or at least not on my phone anyway
The rumor when I was at the Chevy dealer was it would be DOHC and direct injection. This is clearly not the case on the DOHC part anyway

Could have a slightly aggressive cam.
