I personally thought David's, "It's his second language" excuse for Seb's F-bomb was funnier. Seriously David? Second language or not, Seb knows what "fuck" means and how it's used.

Don't worry, he can just hit the eject.

She's cute; it's ok.

Maybe I'm jaded because I live here and take the Chesapeake Bay B-T at least once a month, but in a driving sense, it's not that special. Sure, the engineering is amazing (it is the most accurately level man made structure, for it's size; so much so that you can use it to measure the curvature of Earth). But from a…

I doubt that very much, the electrical connector is likely for the VVT or some other sensor or something. The water pump appears to actually be to the right side (the large pulley).

No, there is not a standard V8 firing order, but there is a common one. For example, the Gen 1 & 2 small blocks are 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2, and many high end engines from this family employ what is called the 4-7 swap which just requires a new cam with the necessary changes to those cylinder's lobes and spark plug wire…

Just saw from GM that the VVT has 62 degrees of adjustment.

Torque curves? We has 'em. How about 50 more between 2000 and 4000 RPM?

All LSs had A/C standard. GM did away with it being optional when the C5 came out in '97. But that is the A/C on the lower right; I've seen a side view pic since posting the original comment. It appears that the power steering will be electric, but no confirmation from GM yet, though it is pretty obvious. The oil pump…

Actually, that LT1 was a reuse of the designation from the original LT1 from 1970-1972. It was an optional 350 ci. that had solid lifters and loved to rev, though it got a bit strangled in '72, as did they all.

Here's a video from GM.

The internet is rife with more info, so here is some more, and only GM's official stuff, I won't post speculation, unless I say it is.

The block, and the rest, is all new. No carry over, so no aftermarket...yet.

It still has pushrods. The VVT adjusts the camshaft's timing. The mechanism is built into the cam's timing gear setup. Usually they use a phasing cam gear, controlled by the engine's CPU via hydraulics. And that 26 mpg figure is just speculation, GM hasn't made any claims yet.

GM has not made any claims yet. That number is just speculation.

Optional? Lame. The one they are showing is dry sumped though.

They usually show their engines in full, ready to run dress. But I saw a pic on another site that shows the oil pump, and it does appear to be similar to the last gen's direct driven pump. So it appears the A/C is what's on the lower right.

I've noticed that in this display version that it only has three engine driven accessories, presumably the water pump, alternator (obviously), and the dry sump's oil pump. So where is the A/C compressor and power steering pump? Are they going electric for those? Looks that way. Of course I'm not sure if it was done…

+1 for Verizon. Several years ago I woke one morning to find no internets when I booted up for my morning surf session. Modem had signal, WiFi was good, so WTF? I call them and lo-and-behold, they cancelled my account for non-payment. Except I didn't owe them anything. The CS person was polite and verified that I was…

My 72 Corvette had a sticker price, with its options, of $6508 (base price was $5533).
