Dubbed the Gen III V-8, this family of engines was immediately met with unanimous approval by the automotive press. Enthusiasts have embraced the LS because they have powered some of the most spectacular performance cars ever produced including the incomparable LS7-powered 2006 ZO6 Corvette. Key to the success of the LS Family of engines is the worldleading technology that comes from GM in every engine. These are pushrod small-block V-8s that feature near perfect efficiency in design and amazing power output youll swear it isnt a small-block! The advantages of the LS Family of engines over previous small-block V-8s include high-tech fuel injection, aluminum blocks with 6-bolt mains, high-flowing cylinder heads, and pump-gas friendly performance numbers that rival most big blocks.

Besides that, they start, idle, and cruise with none of the constant maintenance that some other engine designs require.
