If the LSA isn't happening for a z28, I would accept this engine as a replacement. I guess we'll know when the Z28 badge shows up.

This would be the foundation for the entire line of GM's gasoline V8's. From the pickups to the corvette to caddies. Its not 1 or 2 special engines. So it would be the engine that goes into the Camaro SS and with some alterations, the Z28 as well.

There will be a Z28 you can bet your tits there will be a Z28!

These are the guys that build the engine...

Sorry but late to this post.
It is actually the heads and I believe intake that are much cheaper, not specifically the block or internals.

Wondering when we'll hear news about this again. GM is building quite a variety of direct injection engines with the four cylinder's updated via the 2.0T + 2.4 along with the V6's updated with 3.0 and 3.6 blocks. It seems to me that this is the time for some DI V8 lovin!

There I said it ! I went there ! Got here - an nooooone else is here - but I don't care if I'm here all a-lone...

any new info on the Gen V V8's?

edbrick · 04-13-2009, 10:22 PM

I just wonder. At one time Fbodfather said something along the lines of forget what you know about currently available engines. I think new engines were put on hold but I wouldnt be surprised if in a year or two we get a new direct injected V8 and of course this would all be top secret because if it got out most would wait for the new engine. I might be dreaming but hey I can dream Right

It would be nice- but I have a feeling a displacement drop would accompany the direct injection.

Its cool as long as gas milage goes up and the HP remain the same. It would be a win win.

Yes, but engines can't keep getting bigger. I'd be fine if they dropped by 5-10%.
