Well I haven't seen anyone here mention yet,if it has forgive me!!! I'm just excited that GM came back to this power plant.They really did a lot of homework to make this power plant unique and powerful with over 11:1cr. I no what my new power plant will be in a few years for my new project lol

 

read my mind..........i saw this this morning.....awesome.....i will be building one of these in a couple years

 

WTH GM?! First you got gen 1 LT-1, then gen 2 LT1, now gen 5 LT1...that's not the least bit confusing at all

FWIW...I found a better more detailed article about it, I was about to post it but yall beat me:

I knew this was going to blow up here. I can see it now...

"Can I put LT1 heads and intake on my LT1?"

 

Who's going to be the first with a gen5 LT1 in a LT Fbody? I can see the faces of the LS guys now

 

What the hell are they calling it the LT1 for. Good lord GM. Thanks for making the "Search" function that much more difficult.

 

How much hp can a cast aluminum crank hold. Sounds scary

 

 

"LT1 swap replacing my LS1? No, can't afford it."

 

Cancel that Its the block reading and driving

 

Nice engine cutaway in this link:

It's stupid naming it an LT1.

 

That would actually be badass.

 

Now there going to kick us all out so they can have this section LOL

 

Best article yet: http://wot.motortrend.com/next-gen-l...ch-280365.html

 

Every one fast get out your water buckets the lsx guys are going to start crying ,,,,,**** just got real!!!!!!! Lt1 power

 

One of the cutaways on one of the sites (dont remember which) shows one of our gen 2 LT1s, glorious opti and all, and labeled it as 2014 Corvette LT1 engine .

450hp and 26mpg sure is nice, just wonder how much of a PITA it will be to mod with all those fancy new parts .

 

im actuallly kind of excited, i read somewhere that the supercharged version for the zr1 vettes are supposed to be called lt4, im excited they went back to ltx but they got 2,4,6,7,8,9 left to put after LT haha, hopfully in a couple years i cant have that bad boy in my car though.....

 

It was the Motortrend link...LOOK FAMILIAR?

According to the gmhtp Facebook, the ECM is all new and supposed to be very hard to crack. Looks like a badass platform though.
