LS2 to be 6.0L, LS7 to be 6.4L!!!!

LINK! (http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=502610)


Notice the V12 info too, and the mention of a supercharged I4 and turbo V12!!!:eek::bow: :cool:

What displacements would that be again??

LS2 = 6.0L V8

LS7 = 6.4L V8

Pretty much what alot of people expected them to be.

A 6.0 would be 36x cubic inches and the 6.4 is, what 380? 390? Those numbers aren't surprising.

I want to see what the heck this TURBO V12 is going into! :eek:

seriously, an aluminum, variable valve timing, dual overhead cam, turbo, 7.5 liter v12:think: :eek: :bow:

what? can someone take a look at RPO code M97

6.4 is quite possibly 396. Very cool.

427 would be even cooler, but hey . . .

and there is a Z16 commemerative Z06 edition

Did you notice there is a LS4!! it is 5.3L, for the new Monte RWD maybe.

a LS1 382 stroker is 6.3L
a LS1 396 stroker is 6.5 or 6.6L?
so the 6.4L LS7 should be about 387?

I knew you guys would like that. :D

To convert into x = multiply; / = divide
cubic inches litres x 0.01639

so 6.0L = 366 c.i.
6.4L = 390.5 c.i.
5.3L = 323.4 c.i.
5.7L = 347.8 c.i.

What is the LSL iron 5.3 HO?

Wow, that is good stuff. There is a lot of motors we haven't even seen yet in that list. I'm pretty excited.

Well, this pretty much confirms that Corvette mule info that had "LS2 engine info" on a chart on the dash of the car from what? 4-6 months ago...??

Looks like the info kings have been churning out good/accurate information over the past 6 months. Nice job guys! Who was that that posted about that Corvette they saw with the computer testing equipment in it?

I am pretty sure it was first posted over at Corvette Forum... and we linked to it...

GM Trucks and Cadillac's V12 are supposed to be the 1st with cylinder deactivation, so I doubt the LS4 is for the Monte. Very possible, but I doubt it.


It's pretty amazing the information that ends up on this board. :D

5.7L = 347.8 c.i. Yeah but 327 ci also converts to approximately 5.3L , so let's just call it 327 for old times sake???

Anyone have any ideas on hp?

In the Silverado the 5.3L V8 is 325cid

Niiiiiiiice information. So the highest displacement was decided to be 6.4L and not 6.6L or 7.0L. Now I just want to know what cars those engines will go into!

TWIN TURBO V12??? What is THAT going to go into??? An Escalade? Make the worlds fastest and most powerful SUV by a LARGE margin??? I can really only see that engine going into a super sports car. Figure that it will produce 500hp in base form, add in 8# of turbo'ed boost and you're running 750-800hp. That's a little much for your average SUV.

Here's the complete list of RPO numbers

It would be worthwhile to look through this for other tidbits that it may hold.

Well... ZR1 is on the list ... "Performance Package" "Special Coupe" :eek:

look at RPO code M97 is that a tranny brake? also, why does this list still have some old stuff like the syclone and the typhoon?

I imagine the 6.4 LS7 will be for the next gen (C6) Z06 (or whatever its called).

Hmm, perhaps this is list is just what GM has though of/tinkered with... there's an alcohol I4 on there too..

Since the Gen IV V8s are an evolution of the GenIII do you guys think it will be an easy swap with an LS1? or do you think it will be more like the chachge over from the LT1 to the LS1? I'd love to get a 2002 SS and put a LS2 or LS7 in it:bow: assuming I could get a create LS2 for just about the same price as an LS1, This would be something worth looking into.

Swapping engines in a 4th Gen = not fun. :)

The Caterpiller line up is interesting also...
