LS Crate Engines
The engine family, commonly called the LS series, debuted in 1997. General Motors called it the Gen-III Small-Block, with the iron-block versions in trucks and the all-aluminum LS1 introduced in the then-new C5 Corvette. GM has continued to refer to its modern V-8 engine family as Gen III and Gen IV, but to the enthusiasts who quickly grasped the tremendous performance potential of the engines, every engine of the platform is nicknamed “LS.” One of the most popular LS crate engines is the LS-9, which produces 638 horsepower at 6500 RPM and 604 lb.-ft. of torque.
LSX Crate Engines
Chevrolet Performance’s LSX crate engines take LS power to the next level, with racing-engineered combinations that deliver power with strength for your custom car. The LSX series of crate engines are based on the LSX Bowtie Block and use a number of production based and LSX high-performance parts to deliver ultimate performance engines that were never offered in production vehicles. In this segment, the LS7 stands out with 505 horsepower at 6300 RPM and 470 lb.-ft. of torque.
Small-block Crate Engines
The Chevrolet Small-Block fundamentally changed the world of engine performance more than six decades ago, and this icon of American horsepower is pulling stronger than ever in Chevrolet Performance’s diverse range of crate engines. The Chevrolet Performance Small-Block crate engine is one of our best sellers—and it’s easy to understand why. The Small-Block is a cornerstone of the industry, and nobody knows how to build them better than Chevrolet Performance. The Chevrolet SP383 EFI Turn-Key small-block crate engine produces 450 horsepower at 5800 RPM and 436 lb.-ft. of torque.
Big-block Crate Engines
Each engine builds on more than half a century of design, validation, and manufacturing expertise, offering an uncompromising balance of durability with the capability that comes only from the legendary Chevy Big-Block. Our lineup of ready-to-install engines offer something for every budget and project. We are the only source for brand-new Chevrolet Performance Big-Block crate engines, built with brand-new parts and incorporating the latest cylinder-block casting technology. For the height of power, the ZZ632/1000 Deluxe engine produces 1004 horsepower at 6600 RPM and 876 lb.-ft. of torque.
