How about a new Z/28 specific engine? A smaller displacement, higher revving engine than the LS3 which would also help on weight savings and give a nice throwback to the old Z/28s (thats another thing i didnt take into account, weight of the LS7 verses weight of the LSA)
Well in Grand AM and soon in the American Le Mans there are 5.0L LSx engines that produce 500+HP that rev to about 7000k+. But that throws the NVH, fuel econonmy, refinement, emissions, and all that good stuff that you never heard of in the sixties out the window.

In the end all LS engines are true marvels of modern engineering anyways xD
