Posts like a Ecotec or Vortec

Could do some of the old Chevrolet engine names too, but those would be lost on most that don't have white hair (or none at all).

Turbo Thrust (348-409)
Turbo Fire (small block)
Turbo Jet (Big Block)
Turbo Thrift (194-230-250 L6)
Turbo Air (Corvair)
May have forgotten some

I always liked the original Buick V6 being the Fireball V6.

Encore? Blegh, sorry, my personal opinion

Maybe, besides model names, we add some generic (and GM-centric) stuff too, like (in not much of a particular order):

Posts like a Vortec V-6
Posts like a turbo 5-banger <<< This would have to be more-advanced than the 4-bangers
Posts like a small block
Posts like a big block
Posts like a mid-engine <<<this would have to be more advanced than "Posts like a Corvette"
Posts like a V-16 <<<an ode to the olden days and that one recent concept Cadillac
Posts like a V-5 Diesel <<<yes really V-5, that would have to be a low one . . . or maybe a really high one because it is very unique
Posts like a Banshee <<<The Pontiac concept, probably somewhere lower than a Corvette but higher than a Camaro
Posts like a Blackhawk <<<Ode to the Buick concept/tribute car
Posts like an SSEi <<<Gotta have an ode to the Bonneville in this forum, they barely get mentioned any more
Posts like a Custom Deluxe <<<This should probably be a less-advanced one
Posts like a Silverado <<<This should probably be a more-advanced one
Posts like a Wildcat
Posts like a Centurion

Posts like a Fireball V8
Posts like a Rocket V8
Posts like a odd-fire V6
Posts like a Dynaflow
Posts like a Hydramatic
Posts like a Vortec
