LS9 is a go?
That the RPO for a the S/C 6.2L right? Supposed to replace the 427?
I was just reading M/T--yes I know they are the worst for rumours--but they were talking to a guy who worked at Chevy that said the next Z06 is goinig to be NA.
Might the 427 survive and populate other cars (ex CTSV, Camaro, GTO, G8)

Funny you should bring this up. C and D recently quoted Bob Lutz saying the Blue Devil engine will be larger than 7 Liters. Did they misquote him? Did he mis-speak? Is the BD really going to have more than 7 liters? Inquiring minds want to know. http://www.caranddriver.com/dailyaut...nce-page2.html
Lutz won’t divulge engine details except to say the displacement of the new powertrain is greater than the pushrod 7.0-liter V-8 in the Z06.

That engine was also called LS7. Then they decided they could not get enough power out of 6.4L so they went to 7.0L

You can get more than 427 cubes out of an LS1 style engine. It will require a different block, but the block architecture will still be primarily the same.
