I've known about these engines for months. There's even talk of a turbo
version of the 5 cylinder. Considering the design of these new in line
GM engines, I would LOVE to have one in any car. The main crankshaft
bearings aren't just caps, there is a "cradle" that includes the bearing
caps and the entire bottom of the block. These are rock-solid engines.
The performance division of GM trucks took one of the 4.2 liter in-line
sixes and put twin turbos on it for a whopping 450 horsepower. The only
modifications to the engine were shorter connecting rods and different
pistons to lower the compression ratio. These could be the next "Chevy
small block".
If anyone wants a copy of the twin turbo article, I could scan it and
send it to you via email. Be warned, the images will probably be around
2-3 megs per image.
