Another objection to 7.0L

[Jay2002WS6]

I have to admit, this one has my attention.

Every other person who was in denial about the 7.0L was getting annoying, but this one is making me question it.

It's a screen capture from a GM Powertrain Employee's computer, and it even has the "socrates.gm.com" ID on the top...

I'm back on the fence again...

The original LS7 was a 6.4 liter.
This years change in rules for the GTS class states in part that you have to have a production car with the same displacement. If not for this rule change the Z06 would have been a 6.4 vs. the 7.0.

Just as the L88 had to be a prodution engine and the 302 in the F-Body.

The horrible thing is, if GM ends up putting out a 6.4l motor, everyone will throw an absolute FIT after the hype of the recent pics...

btw, anybody know what bore and stroke get you 6.4 as opposed to 7.0 liters?

Maybe that's the reason they were trying to so desperately contain them????

It will be a 7.0. My friend saw the car and he said he saw the engine in the car and it was a 427! Damn you people are hard to convince..

[Cave Man]

What if all of these "leaked" photos and all of this "leaked" information was in fact from GM to throw everyone off the trail?
Motor Trend says it will be a 6.3L, Car & Driver says it's a 7.0L. I say none of us know for sure until Chevrolet shows it to us.

427 vette. It just sounds so right. A marketing guys dream.

Gm would have to be stupid to not do this.

[rwd]

Not sure about that. One very good reason to do a 427 is to leave the 454 and 502 options open.

Same bore as the 7 liter with a 3.622 stroke.

I was convinced until I saw this, Fadi. Did you look at the link? It's a friggin screenshot of a GM employee's computer on an internal intranet site.

He's gonna get a big boot in the ass if they find out, by the way.

Thanks. If the bore stays the same I'd imagine the flexibility to change displacement, or at the least the willingness to, late in the game would be higher.
