Next Corvette to Get All-New Small-Block/C7 will Debut with GM's latest V-8
According to sources inside GM, the C7 Corvette will be one of the first cars fitted with the next-generation small-block V-8 GM has announced it is investing $890 million to develop and manufacture.
GM has confirmed the new small-block V-8s will feature aluminum blocks and heads, direct-injection, and a new combustion system.
Our sources say the C7 engine will displace 5.5 liters, with a target output of about 440 horsepower.
The new small-block will retain a traditional overhead-valve layout, ensuring compact dimensions and lower manufacturing costs.
Prototype engines reportedly are already running on test beds in Detroit.
