    You get on the ls1 forums in the U.S, here them cry about that hemi being a copy of the chev engine they are pissed about it.

    well its definately questionable......the Hemi's a brand new engine apparently, yet they still went with OHV for some reason, and it JUST SO HAPPENS its 5.7 litres as well

    i should try find the exact capacity, bore/stroke etc. the LS1's got 5665cc so i guess that'll be one way to tell. im sure if it was anything suss though, the US patent office would be on it

    Yeah guess your right GM would have the $$$$ to rip them a new one if they wanted to, So if it was a copy they would be shitting right now

    maybe, but perhaps if they copied it, they changed enough for people not to really notice. both manufacturers have their systems for shutting off half the cylinders though
