I saw some Gen3 block castings today, Aluminum with 6.0/6.2. cast into them.
No windows are cast into the main bearing bulkheads, unlike LS1/6, which probably means dry sump.

?? How did you see them

 

The new motor (C6) is called LS2 and is a 6.0L right?

 

Saw them, because I have 6 of 'em
LS2=6.0 2005 C6
LS7=6.2 2006 C6 ZO6

 

now how many cubic inches is that? 6.0 is 364 correct whats a 6.2 370-something.
power estimations are at what? 400 for LS2 and whow much for LS7?

 

Just did some quick calculations. If the block is stamped 6.0/6.2, I would assume that the bore is the same @ 4.0" Increasing the stroke to 3.75", up from 3.62, will give a total dispacement of 377ci or 6178cc ~6.2L

Where's the pics man? Are the headbolt patterns the exact same as the LS1?

 

I want one of those blocks!!

 

If you have tehm, then it would be really nice to know if the bolt pattern is the same as the current LS1/LS6. If you can get a full set of pics, escpecially the front cover area, the top of the cylinder, and the mains area, that would be fantastic. If you need help hosting the pics that can certainly be worked out...

 

I wonder if the max bore that can be achieved is 4.060 like with the iron blocks?

 

Mabye you drank 6 bottles of whiskey, smoked 6 blunts... now you're trippin and see 6 engine blocks that you dont really have.

 

callin BS till i see pics. that new intake is gonna be gravy.. factory 90mm tb's

 

Too Damn Funny!

 

Sounds a bit suspicious, unless he works for the General.

Then he may have 6 of them at work.

 

His profile says he's a plant manager, I get the impression he doesn't check the board that often with ~54 posts since Dec of 01.

 

Likewise, it would be nice to know if that 90 TB will fit on an LS1/LS6 intake.

 

I heard rumor the LS7 will be a 427 as a resleved LS2

 

I think that's exacly what your heard, a rumor, and for my $ GM doesn't have the ***** to make the LS7 a 427, but if they did/do, that WOULD ROCK, especially if it slipped into the engine bay of my 03 Z06!!!!!

 

So we'll need to wait about 13.5 days for another response?????

 

Well, the 6.0L has been confirmed as the standard 2005 Corvette's LS2 motor but the 'other' size being tossed around was 6.4L (LS7?) I thought, not 6.2L...interesting.
And yes, there was also talk of a 7.0L (as well as 500hp and possible supercharger) for the upcoming C6 Z06/Z07/LS7 (or whatever it will be called) model.
