    710 cubic inches. Basically, a pair of 305 V6 GMC engines with one BIG crankshaft. Not exactly fuel mileage kings (4-5 mpg), but they have torque enough to change the Earth's rotation. Amazing engines!

    Hot Rod ran an article a couple years back on a guy who specialized in rebuilding and hopping-up these engines. Not cheap, especially considering the gains.

    True that, but it's definitely NOT a "ooh, lookie, me too, me too!!!" small-block Chevy engine!

    Nothing is shared between a SBC and a GMC V6 or V12.

    Sometimes, you are pretty weird.

    Yea but it's still GM. Besides we're the only two here to bug each other.
