C 6 Engines:
Here is some info I got from a GM engineer at the Woodward Cruise in Michigan.
The LS1 changes to LS2 with 6.0 liters or 366 cu and 400 hp.
The LS6 changes to LS7 with 6.4 liters or 390 cu and 500 hp.
The above is a accurate as the engineer would say. I hope this comes to pass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: C 6 Engines: (edlipman)
I just don't understand why they are doing so much to get 18 cubic inches. :confused:
But come to think of it, it might be because having the 6.0 as a base engine, it would be even easier to up the displacement for te HP version. Hmmmm.

Re: C 6 Engines: (GDP)
Your probably right, the 6.0 and the 6.4 might very well have the same bore, just that the 6.4 will have a longer stroke. They probably can't go much larger on the bore and still meet emissions and avoid detonation at a high compression ratio.

Re: C 6 Engines: (Formula)
Same bore means you can machine it on the same line. If the rods are longer it doesn't impact production costs or interrupt the line for re-setting the machines.

Re: C 6 Engines: (Alphaq)
Why would they change a LS1 to LS2. Just keep the LS6, it already has 405 hp. :confused:

Car and Driver said in the July issue,
" the current 5.7 liters will be stoked to 6.3 liters. the new engine should make up to 450 hoursepower and 450 pound-feet of torque.

Re: C 6 Engines: (Jinx)
Four hundred horsepower is not enough.
Could you imagine hearing this back in 82, and 84! I remember when the 84 C4 came out 400hp was something that only happend back in the 60's and was a number we would "never" see again.
I have been considering doing the heads and cam on my car to get it to around 550hp or so in N/A trim. AND THIS SOUNDS REASONABLE TO ME FOR A STREET CAR!!! 20 years ago a drivable street car with that kind of power was about as likely as a Star Trek transporter would be.
These ARE the good ol' days right now!

Not only that but that 400 HP in the 60's would probably only dyno at 350 using today's SAE net numbers :yesnod: I remeber in the mid 70's I was afraid I would not be able to buy a powerful car in the future years when I would have the means to pay for one.......boy, compared to 1976 performance levles, I had nothing to worry about. :lol:
