Whats up with the 6.4L V8?

Since the new rumor is Chevy has decided to go with a 7.0L V8 instead of a 6.4L for the next Z06? Where does this leave the 6.4L? I'm assuming that a lot of development work has been done on the engine, it would be a shame to let it go to waste. Any chance of this engine making it into the GTO or CTS?

AFAIK, the 6.4L is dead.

I'm not sure what you mean. The 500 hp engine is going to be the 7.0 L, not the 6.0 L.

THe 3v 6.4L was also going to be 500HP. This seams like a good engine for the top of the line GTO to have, that way it is still putting out more than the LS2 but not stepping on the toes of the 7.0L Z06
