Chevy's new V10?? My old man is a tool and die maker, His shop just received an order to do some work on Chevy's new 7.7L V10 (not sure if its all aluminum or not forgot to ask). So what do you think Chevy's plans are for this beast????
?? I dunno... but sounds like I could use one!!

Is it Chevy or GM? If it is Chevy, I would guess it's for a truck, since Ford and Chrysler already have V10's in their trucks. However, if it was GM, I'd say maybe for a Cadillac concept? I remember they had a V12 at an auto show that was making +-700hp N/A. Just specualtion of course. But if you find anything else out, PLEASE let us know immediately. This sounds like classified info!!!

Sounds cool but if its not for a concept than i bet its a truck motor. Their V8s are allready big and probably near their cap for keeping that displacement enviromentally friendly for 8 cylinders.

I think GM High Tech had an article on this a while ago. They had a picture of it. Not sure if it was real or a mock up, but I think Gm has been working on this for a while.

GM had previously condcuted studies on a V-10 as shown in GMHTP.They said in that article the plan for the V-10 had been scrapped. I heard not too long ago they were going to go ahead with it for use in Trucks. We'll see I guess.

Yes it is for a truck. I forget if it is going production or not.
