Starting with the '08 Corvette, the world was first introduced to GM's latest small block V8 creation – the 6.2-liter LS3. The LS3 kicks out 430 horsepower and 424 lb.-ft. of torque. It's a brute of a small block with 376 cubes at your beckon call. The LS3 consist of engineering breakthroughs like the revised Cylinder Heads featuring Rectangle Ports borrowed from the LS7. The Heads feature 63cc Combustion Chambers, 2.16-inch intake valves, and 1.59-inch exhaust valves. The camshaft features an aggressive .551-inches of lift on the intake side with less overlap (than the LS2) for even greater airflow and power. Rocker arms with a 1.7:1 ratio sit on top of the heads. In the bottom end, the aluminum 6-bolts/main block features 4.06-inch bores and 3.62-inch stroke. A nodular Iron Crankshaft, Powdered Metal Rods, and Aluminum Pistons (10.7:1 compression ratio) round out a rev-happy short block. The LS3 helps power the new Corvette to a top speed of 190 mph. What will it power you to?
