It was 1st designed for that new hot-rod Chevy truck [Prowler type, limited production SSR ] <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

I knew those all aluminum truck engines were coming as far back as a year ago. My cousin told me they were coming up, he's the engine test engineer at the LS1/LS6 engine plant in St.Catherines, ON. I keep bugging him to sneak me out an LS6! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

I hear there is another larger cube block coming out soon for a pick-up or SUV. 4xx something. I forget the model or bore or stroke.
I believe it's an iron block. Just a rumour. I've forgotten the details cuz I wasn't personally interested. Hear about it last week from a chevy mech. Was GM of course.

There is an all alum 5.3 motor coming for the Envoy/TRailblazer EXT lines.
Thought you may find it interesting. (Maybe not <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> )
Would like to see an all alum six litre too.
Cheers,
Chris

Hmmm....I just wish they would sneek some thicker/stronger liners in these production aluminum blocks. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
A 6.0L aluminum block would be sweet but, I think the truck crowd feels better about the iron block for strength purposes.
Maybe in a year or three we'll get an aluminum production block option to the resleeved blocks. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> I can dream can't I. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

We just started building the seats for the 2003's last Monday. My mother works for GM. I will ask her if they have the V8's yet or it they are still all 6's.

EXT models in 2003 will have the all alum V8 from what I recall.
