I would prefer the full size 6.6 with 400 hp and 750 ft lbs of torque,if anybody cares .And a 6 speed Alli would be nice too.

Western NY = Tonawanda, NY. Large GM engine plant located there.
Start of build in 2009 equates to a 2010 model year truck. But, will it be in the H2 in 2010?

Translated: They'll probably put the new engine in the Sierra/Silverado first (more bang for GM's buck), then most likely the H2 the following year (2011).

the ones produced today are 365 hp / 660 lb-ft; or at least that is for the New Sierra HD3500
