Phil,

I’m still holding out hope that a 32VDOHC motor shows up in the “ZORA”.
I can buy that GM decided to continue on w a warmed over version of the LT4,
altho very disappointed in the use of the LT5 moniker.
Trashing the namesake of a motor that brought GM, albeit indirectly, world records that it did is a huge waste of marketing cred.
Maybe the powertrain guys want their own stamp on a completely different motor.
But I think they blew it with this. Call the damn thing an LT4+, LT4B.
