The Monaro I saw in Bellinger Grove a few years back had push rods, quite a novelty these days. I wonder if it has rotating valves?

Yes pushrods, single cam and two valves per cylinder. ...which I must say, I initially thought was a bit basic.

BUT, when you consider the size and comparative weight of the LS engines, v the twin cam multi valve lumps, you realise how compact the LS lumps are. A comparatively narrow v angle, heads 3 inches wide, makes a very powerfull and compact engine.

Still a bit of a squeeze in an omega engine bay though. ::)

There rather enormous valves to! 50mm for intakes and 38mm for exhaust on the LS2

Remembering that the 5.7 LS1 is a Gen III and the 6.0 LS2 is a Gen IV so there are differences particularly in the heads. Both have 6 bolt cross bolted mains.  :y

Was offered one a few months ago, with only 25,000 on the clock. When I was younger and wealthier I would have snapped his arm off, but in these days of overcrowded roads, average speed cameras appearing everywhere, ANPR in police cars etc. I honestly don't see the point.
If you want to go fast these days, buy or build a trackday car, or move to Germany.

Oh yes. I was aware of the four vertical bolts, but not the two from the side. :y
