Pontiac — General Motors Co. Wednesday debuted its all-new small-block, LT1 6.2-liter V-8 engine, which will power the all-new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette.
In what GM is calling the most significant redesign in its history, the fifth-generation small block will include a direct injection fuel system and active fuel management, or cylinder deactivation, which helps it achieve greater fuel efficiency and will give owners more miles out of a gallon of gas.
GM said it will build the new engine at its Tonawanda Engine Plant in Buffalo, N.Y.
