This engine may be small but it packs quite the punch. Try the LS6 crate engine and find out for yourself

With a superior cam, intake, and additional compression, the remarkable three fifty cubic inch small-block LS6 crate engine was unveiled. In concert with the refined engineering from General Motors, the Cadillac CTS-V and C5 Corvette Z06 utilize the LS6 crate engine small-block to be ahead of their class. The five point seven LS6 crate engine constructs on the intrinsic potency of the LS1 crate engine, profiting from the higher lift camshaft & higher-compression pistons raising horsepower from three fifty to four oh five. The torque is also juiced up running from three forty pounds per foot to four hundred pounds per foot. Such remarkable muscle is as a result of hollow-stem valves, utilizing a more forceful camshaft, improved intake, with better rated valve springs.

GM Performance Parts distributes the LS6 crate engine as an all-inclusive assembly, inclusive of CTS-V aluminum oil-pan, endurance log-style exhaust manifolds, as well as composite intake manifold capable of large volume intake with single-bore throttle-body. The LS6 crate engine has lent a hand to enhancing Cadillac CTS-V and C5 Z06 Corvette super cars to greater heights of concert. This line manufactured engine consists of an aluminum block, crankshaft, aluminum heads, rods, valve train, pistons, camshaft, oil pan, valve covers, intake manifold, exhaust manifolds, throttle body, balancer, & flywheel. However, the package contains no electronic additives. In fact, at least, GM's crate engine agenda appears to present engines that bring outstanding results as far as performance per dollar is concerned. However, this speed gear business gives the impression that it thrives on optimism. In no other instance is this more apparent than the rationalization of claims and chest thumping begins. Even though one would anticipate a large, highly regarded corporation as GM to be candid it would not go muddled to have such claims autonomously verified.

Starting as an ephemeral curiosity was the beginning of GM's latest LS6 crate engine offering, the limited Z06 Corvette edition of the LS6, this morphed into a chief test project. This was a light, well worked; all-aluminum engine that, in ambiguous legal form, was claiming output of four oh five SAE horsepower. This engine sublimely moves from dormant smooth idle upping to the red-line at six thousand six hundred while delivering appreciable mileage while at it. Some background checks discovered that, in the form made known, a duplicate of this engine is available for a going price of slightly over seven grand. However, it would be a tall order an attempt at building an analogous 23-degree small-block Chevy with anything below twelve thousand bucks.
