I guess this will be in showrooms late next year.
mmmmm Commodore.
I was looking at some engine stuff, and the Commodore SS uses the L76 version of the 6.0L, which is the same basics as an LS2, but has a lower compression ratio (9.6 vs. 10.9), cast connecting rods vs. the LS2 forged rods, and the VVT like we have on our 3.9L and new 3.5L V-6's.
I guess the Compression Ratio difference is in the heads, because the L76 is the truck version of the LS2, which sacrifices high end horsepower for a flatter torque curve, and higher torque at lower RPMs.
Because of the VVT though, would there be any reason you couldn't swap LS2 heads and rods into the L76? Or would there be other issues?
Anyone know? I've been looking, but can't find anything......yet
