The exhaust note won't be as brutal-in-a-good-way though.
Honda, Toyota, maybe...
Ford, Chevy...hell, bring back the AMC!
I had a nice little 350 LT-1 in my Buick Roadmaster and Chevy Caprice. Good engine, and reasonable $$ per ci.
It’s odd to me that they haven’t marketed the electric engines in the ONE way that would make them instantly under demand.
RACE THEM.
But for some reason, they won’t (maybe because of battery lifetime, car weight, etc) But it would certainly go a long way to counter the image that we’re giving up something beautiful for something sterile, cold and unsexy.
They have already ended LS1 engines? You can get as much power as a normal person needs from an LS1.
The Democrats will force them out of business by making them go totally EV
If ya got um, hold um!!!
I better buy a new 350 for my ‘66 landcruiser before its too late
My uncle has a country place, that no-one knows about
He says it used to be a farm, before the Motor Law
Sundays I elude the ‘Eyes’, and hop the Turbine Freight
To far outside the Wire, where my white-haired uncle waits....
You can use it to immediately locate the next weakness in your drivetrain.
Latest Hot Rod has a build with a Chevy pickup engine 6.6 liter add two big turbos get 2000 dyno hp. Impressive stuff these days for sure.
These engines will be around as salvage take-outs for decades to come. Although Boody-Gig’s 55mph speed limits and spy cameras will be a pain in the @ss.
My respect for GM was lost when in the 90s, to skirt SRS rules, they put seatbelts on the doors. In a side collision if the door failed you became unrestrained. And then the bailout by GM’s big buddy, Barry.
And I will say screw ALL American car companies. They’re shit. Toyota rules the car world.
The auto transmission in my wife’s 2010 Caddy took a shit right at 100k miles (got stuck in 1st). Cost $2,900.. Only reason she has that pos is because it was a deal from a family member.
Toyotas will go >200k.
Wonder what their plans are for engines in the IMSA Rolex 24-Hour Daytona race?? Don’t think the Acura drivers will worry too much about the Cadillac-powered teams.
Guessing it will soon be renamed, The IMSA Rolex 4-day Race.
I’m have a bitch of a time trying to find someone local to remagnetize my hit and miss’ magneto. I knew this would happen when they stopped offering the pilot flame ignition.
Dang. From the company that gave us the 409 Impala Super Sport.
Start collecting LS engines. Will be worth a lot in 20 years, 4.8, 5.3, 6.0, the common ones. They make intakes to take a carb, simplified FI, wiring setups for them.
Dunno bout all this. My high school car was a 396 Impala. Cruising with Julie D sitting so close to me she was almost in my lap and listening to the Kingsmen singing “Louie, Louie.”
GM...Genetically Modified.
There will be specialty engine makers for high performance engines, much as Pontiac engines are made (or rebuilt with much better reliability and power) by independent expert builders.
As an example, you can get modernized Ram Air V engines (which GM banned in 1969 for public sale, because they produced up to 500 gross HP, considered too much by the staid little men running the company then); these easily produce up to 700 HP (Net, not gross) on pump gas (yes, unleaded - they have hardened valve seats). Yeah, screw the fuel economy.
If anyone thinks that there won’t be a similar, though much larger, market for Chevy engines, guess again.
GM is killing itself. No more bailouts!
