Sounds like you want an LSA

I would be really surprised if the new smaller Duramax engines turn more than 4500RPM. It is possible, but when you increase RPM in an engine, the design costs go up considerably.

LOL. If I still had a webpage, I'd show you a pic of the new 4.6L bullet that I'm going to be setting into my old 99 Cobra over the next few weeks.

Sorry for the extended thread hijack.

Here's a bit of info on the Duramax Diesel, though I couldn't find a date stamp.
