Like a LS7 in shape, but different location and smaller. Don't think the intake will fit. Has computer adjustable cam timing and cylinder on demand for fuel mpg. They will have a iron version also eventually. Uses the new 58X crank wheel.

Anyone know what it'll take to fit the block into existing platforms, like say a C5 with ETP heads? I can't wait until someone figures out how to make a piggyback computer to run the variable timing and DOD!

Block can be used in a non-DOD/DOD application from what I'm told.
This block could be used with LS7 heads then, right? You need 4.060 to use the LS7?
LS2 blocks will not work?

I'm hearing sometime in January these blocks, heads and whole crate motors will be available. My fingers are crossed.
