Engine

Engine Component View
The concept of modularity allows engine designs to share communization between concepts and engine hardware. The illustration (modular engine-typical) represents the basic cross-sectional view of a modular V8 engine. The four modules are the:
- intake module
- cylinder head module (RH)
- cylinder head module (LH)
- lower engine module

The modular engine concept supports efficiencies during repairs by allowing the removal and installation of these modules. While not all in-vehicle repairs can take advantage of the modular concept, most out-of-vehicle repairs benefit in reduction of time and labor needed to repair the engine.
The basic engine components consist of:
- single overhead camshafts
- two valves per cylinder
- Sequential Multiport Fuel Injection (SFI)
- aluminum cylinder heads
- aluminum, 90-degree V-cylinder block
- individual ignition coils for each spark plug
- large-bore throttle body
