Once again to the misinformed: Try checking out the technical SAE Paper #970915 titled 1997 GM 5.7 Liter LS1 V8 Engine. It costs $12 and is available on the SAE website.
The designers started out TRYING to use the "chevy small block" platform but soon realized that there were some problems that couldn't be fixed without a clean sheet of paper design. Although expensive and certainly a difficult decision (for not the least of reasons - parts compatibility), the team STARTED OVER! This makes the LS1 a new design. So, if you want to say you don't like the new GTO because it has an OHV V8 in it, then that's fine. But it does not have a small block chevy. Those of you who keep saying that it does continue to show your ignorance in not even wanting to look at the design of the engine. Writing incorrect statements over and over about what you so obviously know so little is not going to make them true.
Read the technical paper and then lets see if you can write technically about how the LS1 is just a "chevy small block", until then don't write what you don't know.
