Gen V please, any displacement. If they were to make it a 5.7L . . . the streets will once again fear the chevy 350 small block. Should make 450 hp or so, depending on tuning. With mileage possibly breaking the 30 mpg mark.

That would be the ultimate F U to Cafe though! Add another 30 cubes of displacement every year. And measure in cubic inches too. 427 not 7.0, 454 instead of 7.4. Offer them with E85 though, use that 'little' loophole to take care of the enviro side of things.
