GM Gen III/IV V8s
I know what the differences are between the Gen I and II small blocks and the differences between the Gen I/IIs and Gen IIIs is a no brainer but do any of you know what the difference is between a Gen III and a Gen IV? Like how is a Gen III 6.0L different from the Gen IV 6.0L used in the C6 Corvettes, 05 GTOs, etc...

the most I could find was this: "Subtle differences include the crankcase vent moved to the top of the valley, relocated knock sensors and the cam sensor moved to the front of the engine."

GEN III Vs GEN IV
One of the major differences is the bore spacing. I believe that has changed slightly. Also they have gone from 24X to 58X crank shaft encoders. The control logic has completely changed as well.
FYI - You can not put a L76 (high flow head) on a GEN III!

It was in hot rod or car craft last year, and I didn't think the changes justified calling the engines a different "generation", but then, I'm not a GM engineer. I'll see if I can dig something up.

To further the search for the truth I contacted a few friends: One is the small block dyno lead, one is lead calibrator, and one an emissions calibrator. Let see what we can dig up!

WELL! i have just decided that the GM engineers were stupid and dont know anything. here is what they told me about the diferenc e between the Gen 3 and Gen 4 6.0L engines......Dear Mr. Ross,
Thank you for contacting the Chevrolet Customer Assistance Center. I appreciate you taking the time to write us in regards to your 6.0L engine inquiry. I apologize, but this information is too broad for a specific answer. Also, some of the differences are inconsequential or a matter of opinion. For public information available on our engines, I recommend looking around on www.gmpowertrain.com and www.media.gm.com. We here at the Customer Assistance Center do not have access to technical information. Our function at the Customer Assistance Center is to act as liaisons between the dealership and their customers in the resolution of vehicle concerns. We rely on our dealerships, which have first-hand knowledge of a particular vehicle, to answer technical questions that are specific to a vehicle. They would be your best source for information. If you are unable to find the information on the web, then I suggest contacting Public Relations. They would be better able to either answer your question or direct you to whom you need to speak. Please write to our Public Relations Department at the address below. I apologize, but there is no direct e-mail address for that department. Chevrolet Public Relations 100 Renaissance Center Communications P.O. Box 100 Detroit, MI 48265-1000 .......... too specific????? ***... are these people stupid??? they just lost a chevy customer... im switching to Ford. at leasty they know whats going on in their developments.....

I would be willing to bet that if you contacted ford's customer service, they would be unable to answer specific technical questions or put you in touch with engineers, either. I posted a link to a Hot Rod article where the differences are laid out pretty well.

I know the block has had some oil galley changes around the rear cam bearing. I think they eliminated the windowed mian bearing saddles as well.
I think.
