Chevrolet Gemini small-block engine

Common card · No. 280450

The Chevrolet Gemini small-block engine is a dual-overhead cam (DOHC) V8 engine designed by General Motors. While generally considered a "small-block Chevy" engine because of its bore spacing of 4.4 inches, General Motors engineers do not consider it to be a part of the traditional Chevrolet small block lineage because of the substantial reworking, specialized development, and unique technical features distinguishing its design. The Gemini is a clean-sheet design, mechanically unrelated to both the LS-based engines and the Cadillac Blackwing V8. Its most notable traits include a flat-plane crankshaft and dual-overhead camshafts, which represents a departure from the traditional pushrod valves and crossplane crankshafts found in all previous generations of Chevrolet small-block engines. As of July 2024, the Gemini engine has two variants, dubbed LT6 and LT7.
