The 4L65E can take anything a 300hp S/C 3800 can throw at it in stock form.

I dont see the idea with all the engine combinations.. even if they are derived.. it will make a platform more expensive...

Gm should put the smaller displacement v8 on smaller, lighter cars... a 4.8 v8 on a 2400 pound car with 300rwhp...

A z06 with 2800lbs with full tank of gas and 500HP

I think the camaro corvette difference should be: weight and like the 2001 vs 2002 z06..
