Chevrolet has released a deluge of information about the 2014 Corvette’s fifth-generation small block V8 - the LT1. Despite displacing the same 6.2 liters as the outgoing LS3 mill, the LT1 is 99.9 percent new and packed with significantly more power and technology than its predecessor.

The new small block churns out 450 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 450 lb-ft of torque at 4000 rpm, improvements of 20 ponies and 26 lb-ft over the LS3. Chevrolet says that output is enough to empower the C7 Corvette to sprint from zero-to-60 mph in under 4.0 seconds, and with over 400 lb-ft of twist on tap between 2,000 and 4,000 rpm, the LT1 also provides plenty of mid-range output.

Though it retains the tried-and-true pushrod configuration, the LT1 features direct-injection, variable valve timing and a fairly high 11.5:1 compression ratio. A dry sump oil system will be an optional extra in place of a standard wet sump unit.

Also part of the LT1 package is a cylinder deactivation system that saves fuel by effectively turning the 6.2-liter V8 into a 3.1-liter V4. Chevrolet says the system will help the LT1 better the less-powerful LS3's 26-mpg highway rating.

No more laughing at the LT-1 name plate.

I think it's a dumb ass design but they have to roll on it because they wasted so much money designing it.

lifters- very well known to fail already in current motors.
variable timing control- lacking in control on current models
direct inject- rule out alot of FI or heavy modding of the motor. hopefully the people buying these like the power they have because earlier years will be blowing by them with the work that can be done.

Hope they atleast keep the LS3 as an option.

I know theyre not direct injected but the new Ford 5.0s have 11.5:1 CR as well.. I would think with the DI you could boost it easier no?
