Good pics and info here too..

So now we know that the injectors are in the valley and pump is where the distriubtor used to go, SO WHAT ARE THOSE WEIRD BUMPS FOR ON THE VALVE COVERS? WTF??
Also, whats that weird mounting flange on the drivers side down low near the front??
I like in the cylinder head pic you can see the intake port is so high and big that the rockers had to be rearranged to make room for them. Cool stuff.
And the coolant temp sensor is in the water pump, yay!! And it looks like the coolant crossover pipes are gone. Will this put it to bed for once and for all if they are needed?
Dipstick goes into the PAN not the BLOCK.
Notice that the power steering pump is NOT shown but the A/C compressor is...electric power steering coming in the C7??

Its can only advance and retard the cam? Thats kinda lame.
Interesting that Ford and GM came to opposite conclusions.
Ford decided that direct injection wasn't worth the money on the coyote, and that VVT on each cam was more of a benefit.
GM decided direct injection was worth including, but not the ability to adjust exhaust/intake individually.
When are they just going to admit that a 3-D cam is the answer?

Given GM's financial delima still, baby steps is what is necessary now, and that is exactly what we see here. An already solid platform, modified to accept new concepts and technology.

You'd have to be making some pretty wild horsepower before you need to replace the injectors. 22.0cc/sec translates to 62.8 lbs/hr. That will easily support 800 horsepower. Which is good, because I bet those DI injectors don't come cheap.
i do love the lsx series a lot hope this gen will surfice better than the ls series. Another note, replacing injectors with larger ones will be a pita as they are buried

some journalist must've posted/printed it somewhere and the general Corvette population just ran with it trying to turn it into fact or something.I never believed it.
Simple logic and reasoning should've told everyone that they would never downsize the base engine like that, at least not this soon. Not with everyone else still upping their power numbers (420hp base V8 Mustangs and 470hp SRTs etc).

Looks like just a pump with a remote reservoir. The electric PS used in the hybrid trucks is a power hog.

Yeah, you can steal them new right now, but i was actually talking about the used market, would be nice if they dropped off in price even more than they already have

I'm reading over on the CorvetteForum that basically the computer will have 2 encryption keys and one belongs to GM, basically making it almost impossible to tamper with the car because it will shut itself down if you try. We'll see though, the car hasn't even been released and I hope this isn't the case, but that's just what I've read on it so far.

That very likely is where/how it all started, some journalist must've posted/printed it somewhere and the general Corvette population just ran with it trying to turn it into fact or something.

Just to put that rumor to bed, there's no displacement limit in the ALMS, we run restrictors based on displacement and weight

I'm wondering if this is due to warranty/safety/emissions concerns, or they're just flat out tired of people reverse engineering their hard work.
