As long as the machining is correct on the crank, I’ll have one too!I’d be happy with a 9.9L V12 based off the 6.6L HD truck engine.
not after CAFE gets a hold of itAre they going to make a reliable v8 again?
A friend of mine has a 277K mile junkyard LQ4 in his 69 Galaxie with 2 decent size turbos, still in tuning stage so no numbers, but it absolutely boogies. We took it to lunch and on the way back heard tapping. Also I forgot to mention it had 3psi of oil pressure at idle. Monday we pulled it out and started tearing it apart. Bearings looked brand new. The o-ring on the pickup that matched the pan had the wrong o-ring. It is getting a new cam, forged rotating assembly, and a dingleberry hone before a trip to the dyno. The 2-step still worked before we parked it. It will have traction control through the Holley Dominator. I would rather be able to do something like that anyday over having an EV.At this point, maybe GM should bring back the port injection, non cylinder deactivated LS3 and be done with it.
At the end of the day - work has to get done too. The 6.0L without all the wiz bang systems up top is a very reliable and long lasting motor pushing older HD LT’s and HD vans etc …Kudos to GM for making the decision. They have never been profitable in their EV business ("variable" profit is not profitable as it doesn't not include fixed cost and is highly dependent on sales volume). The sunsetting tax credit benefit will hurt their, and other's, margins.
And ability to execute.Market forces at work.
Then you wanna Tonawanda, not one built by Hose A and his brother Hose B.As long as the machining is correct on the crank, I’ll have one too!
The G8 GXP version with 6sp manual, in everything. We’ll even accept the low-throttle skip shiftAt this point, maybe GM should bring back the port injection, non cylinder deactivated LS3 and be done with it.
