Most likely the ZR1, bet it will be called the LT5.

I'd think that would be for the mid-engine car. Especially with the additional info in that article.
Interesting the C4 ZR-1 had a DOHC, didn't know that.
We don't talk about the northstar.
Design attributes of that engine are nightmarish. If you pull both heads off the engine, you drop the mains caps and the crank is now only supported by the oil pan.only way to put main caps back on is to drop the oil pan. You see where I am going with this. And before you say the heads dont have issues, these engines pop HGs like I have been having surgeries.
That's nightmarish
It is one of the few V8s that drops into the DMC rather easily.
16 fuel injectors, two stage throttle body, all internals are forged.
The only weak part of that engine is the thermostat housing. When the thermostat fails, you have to pull the thermostat housing apart, as it is not on the engine block. The bolts are almost guaranteed to be seized in the housing and them breaking. New housings from GM don't exist. NOS is impossible to find.
The current solution is a CNC billet housing that costs 700$ last time I checked.
