L9h 6.2l

 

Don't think so...l9h

 

Seem likely that the funny looking valve covers are for the direct injection.

 

I wonder what the new intake manifold will be like....... Seems kinda short for a truck.

 

that thing looks weird

 

I like the pyrometer bungs for each cylinder.

 

I guess the Canadians have been pricing themselves out of manufacturing. There used to be a sticker on 1st generation big block Camaros "Towanada the #1 Team" as they were #1 in GM quality control for powertrain in the late 60's. Must have had something to do with all the fast and high powered supermodified racers running around upstate New York, many were wrenched on by people in the know at that plant. Glad to see the business return home where it belongs

 

i doubt they are pyrometer bungs unless its just for testing. def an odd looking engine but rent they all when they first come out?

 

the intake looks better then the old truck intakes.

 

That was my first thought, intake doesn't seem tall enough.

 

It's weird though... Almost looks like a 2 piece. Maybe someone's been paying attention to FAST

 

Any idea what the piece just forward and under the exhaust manifold is? With the pulley on it.

 

It does look two piece given that its two colors, looks like it would bolt together.

good question

 

Gen V Fuel Injector

 

Sick!

 

Actually that intake looks about the same height, it just looks that way from that engine cover.
That's an awesome pic though, very exciting. Looks like they moved the water pump over a bit, relocated the tstat. I wonder what that thing at the bottom is.

 

My first thought was a really odd looking power steering pump....?

 

Looks like power steering kinda put isnt it attached to the oil pan?

 

Wow, does look strange! Guess we'll have to wait and see.......
