There are no Chevrolet Engineers doing Powertrain assignments any more. (unless they are motorsports type people doing niche market one off stuff.

Thank you Tom, you nailed it exactly! (my comment was sarcasm).
Apparently a few (post 92 & 94 etc) believe there are vastly less capable "Chevrolet Engineers" on GM payroll for powertrain.. LOL
It should also be common sense to understand the main drive of development for Gen III was to power future Corvettes. Obviously there is trickle effect to flow and share with other platforms.
