From my understanding and from an article i just read the LS3 has cam phasing too which wouldnt suprise since the new viper engines have the same technology. To increase torque at lower rpms.
As for still trading comments over the V6 search it online. I dont feel like doing it because I am bogged with work bnut it is a 3.6 which has already been comfirmed and i believe a 3.9. The only 3.6 right now is the DI and it will not be to expensive.
The l76 would be a great candidate for the baseline V8 but Gm wont let thre just be one V8 everyone i talked to wants the V8. THerefore GM will put a more powerful engine in it. THe LS3 will most likely be detuned from the corvette slightly but just because the Camaro has the LS3 doesnt mean it will be able to compete with the Corvette in handling, acceleration or top end.
Also another reason you can be positive on the LS3 is that Gm will want the ablitity for aftermarkets updates. The LS3 can easliy be stroked with a 4 inch stroke to 414 CI and with a cam which it can easliy support make around if not over 800 horsepower. The internals are said to be able to handle more. Now just make sure that crank you are putting in can stand up and now you have a car. Despite some transmission issues and maybe rear end failure. But the engine has it. Thats the whole reason for uping displacement on top of out of factory specs. When Gm launched their durmax what did Dodge respond with next year a 6.3L cummings to increase displacement to increase aftermarket power above the levels of the duramax's despite transmission failure.
