Features

The C5 Corvette engine, officially the LS1 5.7L V8, marked a major leap forward in Chevrolet’s performance engineering. Introduced in 1997, this aluminum-block V8 replaced the heavier LT1, bringing reduced weight, improved airflow, and enhanced cooling. With an output of 345 hp in early models and 350 hp in later versions, it offered strong acceleration and reliability both on the road and track.

The LS1 also set the foundation for the entire LS engine family, becoming a favorite among tuners and performance enthusiasts. Its compact size, high-revving capability, and proven design make it suitable not only for direct replacement in 1997–2004 Corvette C5 models, but also for custom swaps in a variety of vehicles. Known for longevity and ease of modification, the LS1 remains one of the most respected performance engines of its era.
