Engines must be shipped "dry" to the certified dyno site, along with at least five unopened quarts of oil, to verify the oil quantity and contingency.
It is the responsibility each Engine Masters Challenge contestant to verify the legality of all parts or components they have selected to use on their engine prior to the dyno competition.

 Gen III GM Small Block, Doug Anderson, Engine Builder, April 2005
GM also made sure that the overall size and shape of the "package" would fit in a FWD application, too, so it should be no surprise that the Pontiac Grand Prix GXP is available with the 5.3L this year.
The GM engineers did their homework when they designed these engines, so they haven't had to make a lot of changes, but there are four engines, each with a different combination of parts, so there are still three rods, four blocks, six cranks and seven heads to keep track of so far.
GM spent a lot of time designing the heads with "replicated ports," making sure that all the intake ports and exhaust ports were identical to each other so the airflow was exactly the same for every cylinder.

 GM's 3.9L V-6 Family Grows With E85-Capable And Fuel-Saving Active Fuel Management Versions - Rideroom News
GM's latest generation of 60-degree, high-value V-6 engines is the first cam-in-block engine family to incorporate variable valve timing, which optimizes performance and economy and promotes lower emissions at every rpm level.
This new engine differs from previous GM 60-degree designs with its offset cylinder bores, meaning the intersection of the cylinder bores' centerline is not at the crankshaft centerline.
GM was the first auto manufacturer to begin using the procedure and expects to use it for all newly rated engines in the future.

Michalski said that to attain the 3.9 liters of displacement Powertrain engineers deemed ideal, the 3900’s larger cylinder bores had to be offset 1.5 mm from the crankshaft center line so that the cylinders did not interfere with the camshaft.
Although the new 3900 V-6 was designed as a high-output, performance-oriented engine, it hardly foregoes the traits of reliability, durability and refinement that are characteristics of GM Powertrain’s “high-value” engine families.

GM is wrong for acting against both the interests of America for the last twenty years; and, because of their constant anti-environment stance and actions all those years, also against the interests of humanity.
GM protestation that it is "working on" alternative fuel or hybrid vehicles and its correct statement that it already has some hybrid buses out there is quite irrelevant.
GM is fooling few if anyone, they have had, just like the other Detroit automakers, over 30 years to get their alternative motor and fuel act together and they have done little or nothing,

The global engine family was designed to encompass a range of displacements to meet market requirements around the world.
By starting with a totally new architecture, engineers were free to anticipate many divergent uses for the global V-6 and design it for exceptional flexibility, avoiding the problems that arise when a powertrain designed for a relatively limited purpose must be adapted for a different vehicle architecture or drive layout.
The global V-6 engine family is built at GM Powertrain's St. Catharines engine plant and Holden's Port Melbourne facility.

Part of a new GM engine family that includes the excellent VVT sixes in the Cadillac CTS and SRX, Saab's version displaces 2.8 liters and features a clever twin-scroll turbocharger fed by two exhaust ducts (one from each cylinder bank) to improve boost smoothness and efficiency.
Peak torque arrives at a very low 2000 rpm, and although the steering wheel has its headstrong moments, full-throttle acceleration never becomes a wrestling match, as it has in Saab turbos of yore.
The company wisely has decided to pare down the 9-3 range for 2006, ditching the base, 175-hp engine and the ever-puzzling Linear and Arc designations.
