grumpyvette Posted January 1, 2002 Share Posted January 1, 2002 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- here read all this deep inside GMPD, study began of a third iteration of the Small-Block V8. Expectedly, someone coined the name "Gen III" and it stuck. The project had SAE net power and torque goals of 1 horsepower and 1 pound/foot of torque per cubic inch displacement. There was a weight reduction goal of about 60 lb. When asked about durability, reliability, drivability and pleasability objectives; GMPD said only that intent in those areas was "best in class." While that phrase was maybe a bit ambiguous, because Corvette has few direct competitors and none with big V8s, my road test of a C5 pilot car (VIN 00063) in March of 1997 showed the new engine exceeds expectations for drivability and meets them for pleasability. I suspect that time will show the engine's reliability/durability equaling and possibly exceeding that of the Gen II Small-Block. 305,307 327,350 400 =....575lbs so 575-60=515 lbs for the LS1 heres some more LS1 info some of you guys may need this info; http://www.finishlineperf.com/sheetmetalintake.htm or hogan makes this; http://wsphotofews.excite.com/001/PZ/1x/5y/0f13452.jpg and this is for the LT1 guys http://www.c-zone.net/markm/hogans/ http://www.hogansracingmanifolds.c http://www.torquecentral.com/techdocs/GM/ls1/LS1_Tech_article.htm http://www.c5registry.com/Documents/ls6/INDEX.HTM http://www.corvettec5.com/store/?page=shop/browse&category_id=1c914424d2569bea34 39fbcca9123a27 http://www.corvettec5.com/store/?page=shop/dyno http://www.usatoday.com/money/columns/healey/0032.htm http://www.sallee-chevrolet.com/ChevySmallBlockV8s/LS1_pictures.html http://www.tradezone.com/vette/engine.html http://www.ls1performance.com/ http://www.c5-corvette.com/LS1_Technical.htm http://members.tripod.com/racerjoe/68_vette/68_retrofit.html http://www.hpsalvage.com/Gbody.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
