The Blackwing engine is still available via Cadillac parts, Not terribly expensive

Is this the "rumored 4.2lt engine for the Zero.

IMO NO. but it should stir up things

GM always has complete or mostly complete engines for sale.

This is a nothingburger. If you wanted to order one of these for an engine swap or to replace a blown one in a CT6-V, anyone can.

Don't lose sleep over it.

This was the engine - 4.2 TT - that Cad developed and then killed after 2 years ('19 and '20). We ordered a '20 CT6-V and waited 11 months to get it built and delivered (seemed long at the time, but a really short time compared to the C8's). Really like the V. Tons of torque (640) and the car is relatively light for being such a big car. 4 wheel steering and AWD too. It was neck/neck vs. our '17 GS. Stayed right with it and actually pulled the GS a bit after 70ish - probably due to the 10 spd trans. They only built about 350 of the Blackwing V's in each of the 2 years. Will be interesting to see what happens to longevity of the engine. 10k so far and it runs better than ever. Might have been a cool engine for one of the C8 variants, but alas...

I'll keep the V, but will also get an eRay when they come out. On a list. We'll see when.....................
