That yellow car is just hideous,the GM designers are looking at that thing and have got to be laughing and a V6 isn't going to to get it,real exotics don't have 6 cylinders,I don't care how much power the thing is putting out,it's an image thing. I be happy and honored to share the LT5 with the new car providing it's a mid-engined ZR1.

Re: C8 w/ repurposed LT5s?
 

I don't know, the Ford GT is pretty exotic in my mind.

Re: C8 w/ repurposed LT5s?
 

Good article Paul, thanks for posting....

Re: C8 w/ repurposed LT5s?
 

All,

Let me suggest u leave a comment on the LT-5 after reading this article.

Re: C8 w/ repurposed LT5s?
 

So will this be a GEN III Engine perhaps ?

;)

Boxer!

Re: C8 w/ repurposed LT5s?
 

I have a theory about this forthcoming 32v engine. My hunch is a certain well known race and engineering company just might be contracted to do the cylinder heads for a low production run. Google who announced this spring they were opening a new $50m factory in a northern suburb of Detroit. That was to support a major OE component contract....

And at the same time Graham Behan leaves LPE, yet says he is not retiring.....This is X-Files stuff LOL, all the stars are aligning!

Re: C8 w/ repurposed LT5s?
 

I don't think there is any connection between those two dots.

I was joking.....

Re: C8 w/ repurposed LT5s?
 

I think we will be hearing about Graham's latest adventure in the near future. Can't keep a good man down. :dancing

Heck, I'll throw some fodder into the BS grinder, just for kicks.

Gary Cline's specialty is cylinder head design & he already lives in Detroit are. At least it fits pretty good..... :confused:

Lol they are all meeting at the Cook County Courthouse

We all know that Mercury Marine Racing has DOHC heads for the LS motors.

Re: C8 w/ repurposed LT5s?
 

graham is looking for bigfoot?

Paul,

Use an iPad.

Re: C8 w/ repurposed LT5s?
 

On the Mercury Marine DOHC head for Gen 3/4 V8s, while there was a lot or rumors in 2014 and an "announcement" at SEMA a year ago, there is no evidence I can find that MM ever realeased any of those heads.

As for the C8, my guess is it will have a Gen 3/4/5 OHV V8 engine and maybe electric motors driving the front wheels.

GM is working on a new DOHC V8 but it's a smaller displacement engine intended for turbocharging and use in a Cadillac product. I will be surprised if there is a version of that coming in a Corvette.

Re: C8 w/ repurposed LT5s?
 

That would be disappointing. For the same reasons OHV is used in past cars, trucks, Comaros, and too Corvette, wouldn't the same arguement used against the LT5 also apply to using a unique motor (again) in a single GM product - unique to Cadillac?

Hope you're "tea leaves" are mistaken, Hib!

Re: C8 w/ repurposed LT5s?
 

My WAG is that, in re: the coming, small, DOHC V8, Cadillac will get the first shot at it. After that, I think it possible that GM could put it in the mid-engine Vette.

We all going to know what engine is in it in about a year and perhaps sooner.

Re: C8 w/ repurposed LT5s?
 

Did you guys notice that the original article that Paul referred to was posted back in May?
Has there been any reporting on this since?
