GM's Next Small Block Sets Up a New Generation of American Pickups

· 1 min read

General Motors has introduced its Gen 6 small block V-8, a 6.6-liter engine built to deliver serious power without sacrificing the durability the small block has been known for. The new engine is set to become the workhorse under the hood of GM's pickup line for years to come. For collectors who trace the small block's lineage back through decades of American trucks, it marks the next chapter in one of Detroit's most enduring engine families.

With reporting from Road & Track.
