Car and driver also said that MTI's motor in the supercar shootout was a big-block. And thats not the first time I've seen them call a big cube LS1 a big block. They aren't always the brightest out there.
This is just what I heard, but I believe the LS7 will have 2 valve heads, but the heads will be like mini-C5R designs

I always thought the difference was the spacing of the cylinders The exhaust ports on a BBC were equally spaced where on a small blockthe two inside exhaust were ports close together. Is this any where close?
Because the ole 396 was a BBC yet the 427 was a SBC so CID doesn't make much difference

Is no one else excited that there may be a 3100 lb 420 hp truck coming from Chevy?
???
I saw a 2WD colorado reg cab short bed yesterday and it got me thinking, if they were lowered and had a nice set of rims/tires on it they'd be pretty nice looking.
I WANT ONE

Z98- that 420 hp Colorado was built basically as a show car... same as the 572" "ZL1" Camaro that John Moss built back in the mid-90's. The Colorado was part of GM's "employee enthusiasm" program. While we may one day see a factory V8 in a Colorado, I wouldn't expect anything near 420 hp...
Sure, it'd be bad ***, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
