First pic of 5th Gen small block?
Pic taken from this article on LSXTV. First Peek at the Gen-V V8 From GM! - LSXTV
Talk of direct injection, 3 valve, dry sump? Sounds juicy, anybody have some top-secret details to share?

99% sure it will be direct inject... unless they're making the new c7 vette engine different that the new gen-5... c7 vette is "supposed" to be a 5.5L direct inject with more HP than the current ls3... of course with a large cube engine option still available so they say..

Seeing has they're damn near totally different I doubt good aftermarket goodies will be available for a while. If tuning is available a turbo ought to be fairly straight forward, since the injectors are probably of the same type as the cobalt ss and the other small direct injected motors.

Is that willis ? LOL
Im always excited about new GM V8 power!
Those valve covers are def different and would take some getting used to , wonder how hard it will be to do head swaps and such down the road if theres even a need to, guess im thinking wayyyyy ahead haha.
Now my friend that has a turbo direct injected cruze said his intake manifold and turbo housing are all one piece, thats def. different. Just throwing stuff around for discussion.
