2006 Grand Prix GXP will be receiving the all new all aluminum 5.3L V8 “LS4” engine. 300hp/330tq. Front wheel drive, with a 5 speed automatic. Not bad for a daily driver, or alternate vehicle. ---

scott from intense-racing has the new V-8 boneville and he verified its still the 4T65E-HD, they were going to go with the 4T80E the northstar tranny but it wouldn’t fit in the engine bay but who’s knows they could have gave it an extra gear ---
