“New” smallblocks realeased by GM?
Saw this article today, I wonder if this why the L31 supply dried up?

Re: “New” smallblocks realeased by GM?
The only difference I can see is the forged crank. I believe all the earlier L31s had a nodular crank.

Re: “New” smallblocks realeased by GM?
I would think supply and demand changed the price point as more people are using ls engines in there builds then using a traditional small block
Selling 400 of an item vs 10 000 of an item can change price points quickly |

Re: “New” smallblocks realeased by GM?
Seeing as they are oem replacements not performance builds there is no reason for that at all.

I'm sure it's staring me in the face, but I don't see where the price is mentioned.

The motor I pulled from a 1 ton '99 van had a steel crank.

According to this article, it will have a provision for those that want to run a mechanical fuel pump and it is being made in Springfield MO USA.

Re: “New” smallblocks released by GM?
No pricing yet. I call Radley Chevrolet weekly for an update on specs and availability. They mentioned that they've got a truckload reserved when delivery begins. I will reply when I know more.
