Meet the LT1, Corvette C7's 6.2-litre small block

[badmatt]

fuel pump seems to be driven off the cam.

Camshaft: Hydraulic-type with tri-lobe for fuel-pump drive

GM feels that a 2 digit desination dosen't work so they will most likely keep going down the alphabet. LS10 sounds funny.

I thought I saw a spy pic awhile back where the high pressure pump would be belt driven.

Where are we going to put the power steering pump? That offset water pump will make things interesting.

Donny,It's nice see you over here.

Fixed it!

Maybe true Matt, but I'm not buying one until they (someone, not turnkey) comes out w a big bore, head and cam package.

Scott, thanks!!

It will be interesting to see how the direct injection plays out in the aftermarket. I know very little about direct injection but am wondering if the "crate engine guys" will eliminate it......time will tell

Bad ass, nice to see GM on their toes. I'm also glad my next car can have something other than an LS. ha ha ha

[badmatt]

There you have it!

There's been so many LT1 versions now it's getting head spinning!

I think with the stigma of the optispark bullcrap from years ago, they really need to rename this something with a less craptacular reputation.
