Here's pics of the LS2 Intake.

As you can see the intake manifolds are easy to tell apart.

BTW, look at this pic again:
Some of you have probably already noticed this, but you can see the cam sensor between the water pump and the balancer. It's just one more thing that says "gen 4." Also, the motor plate/timing cover that they used is just too cool looking. The dry sump isn't half bad either.

All the talk about the new LS7 Z06 motor being a 427 cid 7 liter motor is still very speculative and we will not know for sure until GM makes the offical anouncement in Jan. 05. For my money, and i hope i'm wrong, its going to be a 6.4 liter motor, making about 500 to 525 crank ponies, in a 3000 lb z06. The good new is that no matter with the displacement is this baby is GONNA ROCK as it seem like it will certainly be at least 500 ponies in a super lite car and should finally put GM back on top, at least for know, bc you no darn well MOPAR is gonna answer with a new radical motor for the VIPER, etc!!!

No other GM's use a 7.0L either save for the C5-R, which clearly uses a different block. What would be the point of casting "7.0L" into a block if you're not going to use it with a crank making it 7.0L?

This is my speculative .02 It's clear that GM has a 7.0L block ready and stout enought to run in competition. Why would GM release a all new 6.4L Z06 Corvette ($50,000++) and also a 6.4L GTO (30,000+). GM has always been very protective of the Corvette. They always underrated the Camaro and Firebird for that same reason. To me it sounds that GM can do 1 of 2 things depending on market conditions.
1. Release a LS2 GTO next year along with the 6.4L Z06 and wait to see how the market reacts slating the 7.0L Z06 for the following year.
2. The C5 and GTO get a 6.4L next year and Z06 gets the 7.0L engine.
Seing GM previous decisions I'm leaning towards the first option.
Please do dot flame me this is just my observation and are not based on any real facts as I have not done any research on the subject.
