All aluminum 6.0 in the new Vette.....
So what did the engineers do this time to get 400 hp and 400 ft/lbs out of the 6.0 in the Vette? Also, how much lighter do you think that engines weighs than the iron blocked 6.0?

if GM had ANY sense at all they would make the LS2 backwards compatible....both for thier own sake and the sake of the owners, you would think it would be MUCH cheaper for them to re-use parts and just re-design the block and heads around them

very true there yelo, that means tons more parts for them to deal with, with different specs to use, and just screws the aftermarket up horribly. I imagine they will use the same truck engines for a while though....

The guys in the internal engine section thought that they were all going to be interchangable. There are different sensor locations on the ls2 block, but I though they figured it would still work. I can't remember all the details on it, but I know it was something along those lines.
