When GM dared to release a re-designed small block in 1997, it succeeded beyond expectations of enthusiasts around the world. Known as the LS family V8 small block, the first and most popular version is the high performance LS1- available here as a complete crate engine from GM Performance Parts.

In many ways the LS1 is superior to any small block that came before it. A deep skirt, six bolt main block, with structural oil pan and other carefully engineered features, helps make the LS1 a strong, smooth running and dependable engine. A high lift camshaft actuating big 2.00/1.55 valves in symmetrical port cylinder heads helps make it an uncompromised performer.

The engine is rated at 350 bhp and 365 lb.-ft of torque.
