First Look at the Gen V Small Block
GM preps for 3rd engine line - Buffalo - Business First
Lot's of funky stuff going on with that engine. Can't wait to get the details.

The valve covers are interesting in that they are "fitted" over the rockers.
Also the exhaust manifold is a little odd, looks like a port in each primary. What are those for?

The valve covers have me most intrigued. Those are either for DI fuel injectors, or maybe a 3 valve configuration?
Time will tell, but I'm excited!

The gen 5 has direct injection, but the intake manifolds (note each cylinder's runner looks like it's really twin runners) has me thinking it's more to it.

Re: First Look at the Gen V Small Block
What it looks like to me is the valve cover is flat against the head except where it has to go over the valves. That means while the coil packs are sitting on top of the valve covers, they are not sitting above the rockers mounted on the valve covers. They are sitting between them mounted on the valve covers not much higher than the top of the heads.
I kept staring at the thing before reading the responses. Im glad other people saw the same thing because I was not sure that was what I was looking at. Ive never seen valve covers like that.
