@oldchevyman48 Right on. Unfortunately, this has been a tightly-veiled secret and we only know bits and pieces about the new small block family. For instance, it will be direct injected and cylinder friction will be reduced significantly. And in certain applications, it will be mated to an eight-speed auto transmission.

I’m expecting, of course, better fuel economy and more power out of the entire range. B-)
