  Chevrolet Corvair engine
This increase in stroke was the maximum the engine could tolerate, to the point that the bottoms of the cylinder barrels had to be notched to clear the big end of the connecting rods, while the bottom piston rings at the lowest point of the piston travel actually passed over these notches.
Engines supplied with the automatic transmission were equipped with a camshaft identical to that in the lower end (95 horsepower) two carburetor engine, while those supplied with manual transmissions got the camshaft out of the higher end (110 horsepower) two carburetor engine.
Early engines were subject to frequent failures of the head gasket, between the heads and the cylinder barrels; this was addressed in later models by increasing the width of the sealing area.

 [No title]
Although Buick, Cadillac, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac also designed V8 engines (see list of GM engines), it was Chevrolet's 350 in³ small-block that became the GM corporate standard.
It was a pushrod cast-iron engine with solid lifters and a 4-barrel Rochester carburetor.
The engine's physical dimensions (oversquare 4.00 in bore and 3.48 in stroke, 102 mm by 88 mm) are nearly identical to the 400 hp (300 kW) LS2 engine of today, but of course much has changed.

 List of GM engines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the face of the 1970s 'gas crisis', GM turned to Diesel power for economic benefit, directing the Oldsmobile division to develop a V6 and two V8 engines, to be shared with all divisions.
Holden in Australia also used straight-6 engines for a number of years in their family sedan models, with local engines ranging in size from 2.15L (132ci) in the original Holden 48-215 of 1948, to the 3.3L (202ci) six used in the 1970's and 80's, up until 1985 with the VK Commodore model.
Since the old engine was considered unsuitable, and a new engine hadn't been developed, the VL Commodore sported the 3.0L Nissan RB30 engine, the last straight six used in a Commodore.

 Engine Compression Calculator | High Performance Engine Calculation
In engines running exclusively on LPG or CNG, the CR may be higher, due to the higher octane rating of these fuels.
From 1955-74, the small-block engine was known as the "Turbo-Fire V8".
The 305 variant of the small-block Chevrolet was bored and stroked to 5.0 L (305 in³) with a 3.74 in (95 mm) bore and 3.48 in (88.4 mm) stroke - taken from the 350.

 Discover the Wisdom of Mankind on generalmotores
In the 1970s and 1980s, GM pushed Diesel engines and cylinder deactivation technologies to disastrous results due to poor durability in the Oldsmobile diesels (this was a modified gasoline engine) and drivability issues in the Cadillac 4-6-8 variable cylinder engines.
GM was also an early innovator in hybrid vehicle development, building Diesel-electric trains since the 1930s and buses since the 1990s (but without stored energy recovery), but did not introduce a true hybrid passenger car until 2004.
GM has hinted at new hybrid technologies to be employed that will be optimized for higher speeds such as are encountered in freeway driving.

 The Worst Automobile Engines of All Time - Features- Popular Hot Rodding Magazine
The same engine resurfaced in 1982, without its cylinder deactivation feature, and as a result, was generally considered to be a good engine.
In addition, the anti-freeze engine coolant of the day did not have the proper additives for use in a mixed material cooling system, so head gasket breakdown and cracked cylinder head castings were common after a few years of use as were cam bearing failures.
GM research data concluded that the engine should be of an OHC design and use a carburetor similar to other Chevrolet products.

 GM Piston Slap -- Like a Knock
GM's new "Net Build" method of manufacturing and/or assembly, in contrast, assumes all pistons will fit equally well in all cylinders and does not allow for variations in the size of engine cylinders or pistons.
Essentially, the piston moves sideways and “slaps” or “knocks” hard against the cylinder bore and causes damage to the engine pistons and cylinders, excessive smoke emissions, excessive oil consumption, carbon buildup on piston heads, decreased mileage, and a loud and obnoxious “slapping” or “knocking” noise, all of which diminishes vehicle resale value in the trade.
GM did in fact admit it had a problem and that its engineering department was working on the fix.

 Planet Ark : UPDATE - GM to announce fuel-efficient V8 truck engines
The new engines, part of GM's efforts to maintain its edge in truck fuel-efficiency over rival Ford Motor Co., resurrect "displacement-on-demand" technology, which automatically shuts off half of the V8's cylinders, temporarily turning it into a more efficient four-cylinder, when the trucks are cruising at a constant speed or carrying a light load.
GM officials have been annoyed by Ford's efforts to portray itself as an environmental leader, and have taken more steps to point out their own contributions to raising fuel efficiency and cutting vehicle emissions and pollution.
GM said it is also considering applying displacement-on-demand technology on some of its six-and four-cylinder engines.

Nissan powertrain engineers for their prescience in attacking reciprocating mass in the VQ engine family: the "downstream" results of reducing the mass of many major internal reciprocating components are manifest — and pay off in rollicking rips through the rev range and supernatural smoothness and NVH properties.
engine in the all-new-for-’97 Boxster, we tipped a collective hat to the ingenious design but were unmoved — figuratively and literally — by the 2.5L "boxer" engine’s comparatively docile power/torque figures and its tinny NVH properties.

It is found on the latest generation of GM’s V6 and V8 pushrod engines, on the Daimler Chrysler Hemi, on Mercedes Benz V8s, and also on the Honda 3.5L iVTEC SOHC V6.
To some people, it may bring back terrible memories of the Cadillac V8-6-4 engine on 1980, but modern cylinder deactivation (haven’t driven a car with that myself) is supposed to be reliable so far, and pretty seamless thanks to modern technology.
It provides for a list of GM engines and also the 3.6L V6 VVT DOHC LY7 engine that powers the Cadillac CTS, STS, and SRX, and may also be a recipient of DoD and direct injection technology moving forward.
