Welcome to 1995?

You could also say welcome to 1966 with the first gen small block LT1, or you could say welcome to 2014 with the new gen 5 small block dubbed the LT1.

Yeah, GM needs to get a little bit original don't they?

Or the multiple gens of LS6.. seriously, GM.. there are other numbers and letters out there, try them!

I'm also shocked that they are going pushrod again, I figured they'd need to go OHC (and for ease of cam swaps, I wish they would!)

nope gm has a new lt4 or lt1 engine thats surpassing the lsx's in every way

WTF? How did I miss this... Where is my search button at? lol

WOW.... http://www.autoblog.com/photos/lt1-gen-5-chevy-small-block-v8/#photo-5384610

Edit

Nice but it seems a lot like a LS engine with updated induction and fuel delivery... Still a push rod engine lol.

we should start a new thread for this.........but gm will never stray from pushrod. its amazing that that little puppy is lighter and smaller than lsx platforms. also the fact that i believe i read that they went back to the cam driven oil pump sorta proves that they are taking multiple technologies and making it the best they can.

There's already a thread for it guys. Check the lounge.

I'd be looking to spend somwhere around 1500 or less. Hopefully including a decent tranny also

well u have a vortec 4.3 i think right? id say stick with a vortec 5.7. id say go lsx and dont turn back but youd be pushing your budget.

Thats kind of what I was thinking but I like looking at my options.
