Not sure why they couldn't come up with a name other than LT1 for it. Even the LS names are from the 70's. http://www.corvetteonline.com/news/b...-block-reveal/

I also heard that it is far more difficult to crack the computer codes, so I don't know how well this will work for swaps....when it becomes affordable I mean.

Actually on second look....could it be to hold bracketry for a PS pump? I don't see a pulley for it on the engine

That triangular lobe drives the high pressure fuel pump, so it must sit on the engine. I wonder if there will be a secondary in tank pump. Check out the perimeter bolt valve covers. It "appears" as though the heads might interchange. The splayed valve technology is pretty trick...I can't believe they are calling it an lt-1!

In 3 years when some of these things are out on the market, I don't want to have to dig through 400 Craigslist postings to find the "correct" LT1

The high pressure pump sits in the valley under the intake and feeds the new inboard fuel rails. Seems they should have pulled a lot more than 450tq/450hp out of it though. Its an all new design with virtually no carry over parts. I can't see only 14hp extra with DI and all the new tech involved. Looks like a huge waste of money for the minor improvement in power.

yes, there is a in tank low pressure pump to deliver fuel to the high pressure pump.
