DART IS MAKING A GENIII BLOCK WITH A GENI ROTATING ASSB. IT WILL ACCEPT GENIV HEADS, AND A DISTRIBUTOR. I GUESS THEY JUST WANT TO BE DIFFERENT. TALK ABOUT A STRANGE SETUP?

Thank you i understand now.
I thought LT1-LT5 were generation 2 small blocks.

I was wrong about the LT5, it's a different engine altogether. However I was dead on about the LT1/4
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_LT_e...L99_.284.3L.29
the way i read it is that the 4.8, 5.3 & 6.0 are gen 3

They are... But I think the engines in the GMT-900's are Gen IV's.
:duh: now i'm lost
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(02CHEV @ Apr 10 2007, 06:46 PM) [snapback]89406[/snapback]</div>But I always thought it was due, to the numerous head traumas I have suffered. Anyways, I was referring to the 4.8, 5.3, and 6.0 engines in the new trucks... I think they are classed as GEN IV.Quote:

The new Sierra/Silvy=GMT 900
Gen 1 = original SBC 1955-2002
Gen 2 = LT1 & LT4
Gen 3 = LS & LQ series V8's with 24-tooth crank reluctor
Gen 4 = LS & LQ series V8's with 58-tooth crank reluctor

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(Jamest @ Apr 10 2007, 08:30 PM) [snapback]89442[/snapback]</div>Because it allows you to use a cheap bottom end in combination with the most advanced induction available. Think about it - readily available crank + cheap billet rods + off the shelf circle track pistons + ported L92 heads + Victor intake = cheap worldbeater. It's not a good idea for us PCM guys but for the carburated crowd this is one hell of an offering.Quote:

I think its an awsome idea. Something for us TBI guys without doing a complete conversion. :rock:
