Don't count on it. Remember the Camaro that received the LS9 from the 6th Gen Corvette ZR1? Unless it was a custom build from Hennessey, neither does anybody else.

While I would typically say the same thing but with all the firsts, lasts, and craziness going on at GM anything is possible

I mean it’s Not a genv engine. I was hoping to have gotten more for that platform. Turbo cam in cam. Would’ve been great for those that are fans of them

At least GM will (apparently) still be using V8's and will not be switching to boosted 6ers...yet.

Not sure these numbers make any sense. 600 hp and 620 tq out of an n/a 5.5 liter? There’s about a 0% chance that happens. 550 hp and 430 tq maybe.

LT6 falls in that last category. So a 5.5L FPC could net 550 - 688 hp

I’m looking at from the “it’s GM” filter, so you can toss the 4.5 out of the equation. I’d say the 6.3 AMG and 5.2 Voodoo are the best comparisons we have. Both make around 100 hp/l, so 550 is more than likely the high end. Given it’s GM, I wouldn’t be surprised to see them dial it back for reliability, putting it between 520 and 540 hp.

On the other hand, when I was still at GM in Competitor Intel, the Corvette team did tear down a 458. I wasn’t able to attend the tear down or the discussion, but I did see the 4.5 laid out on the autopsy table.
