4.5L Duramax For 2010- New Pictures?

[Rabbler]

I think the first posted pics are more likely to be close to the actual engine.
That link you posted looks like an artist concept drawing.

The LMK is an interesting animal. Notice the missing exhaust manifolds??

The heads flow backwards compared to a conventional V8!

Supposedly this engine is all GM with no Isuzu influence too.

I wonder which bank is #1 cyl on?

I'm disappointed about the 4.5, as well. While I'm not ready to buy a new vehicle, yet (hopefully another Sub), I was really looking forward to seeing that new engine in the market.

On the other hand, I'm optimistic that we will start seeing more diesels in NA. BMW, for one, recently announced that they're bringing a 3 series diesel to the US. I'm not sure if Merc currently has one available in the US, or not - but their Bluetec diesel is only about a $1,000 option over gas - the last time I checked, anyway. Here's another interesting thing: greencar.com recently announced their pick for the 2009 Green Car of the year - guess what? It wasn't a hybrid - it was Jetta diesel!
