The sixth-generation Corvette C6 ran from 2005 through 2013 with a range of LS-family V8 engines that established new benchmarks for naturally aspirated American performance — from the 400-horsepower LS2 that launched the platform to the 430-horsepower LS3 that closed it. This used C6 Corvette engine is a genuine OEM unit sourced from low-mileage donor vehicles and inspected before shipment. Available in the 6.0L LS2 and the 6.2L LS3, these are the factory V8s that defined C6 ownership.

Description
The C6 Corvette engine lineup delivered some of the most iconic LS-series motors. Early models used the LS2 6.0L V8 with 400 hp, followed by the LS3 6.2L V8 producing 430–436 hp. For high-performance trims, the LS7 7.0L V8 produced 505 hp, while the ZR1’s LS9 6.2L supercharged V8 unleashed 638 hp.
Built with aluminum blocks, advanced airflow, and cutting-edge fuel management, these engines set new performance benchmarks. They’re ideal for direct replacement in 2005–2013 Corvette C6 models, but also popular for high-performance swaps.
C6 Corvette engine fitment requires matching your specific model year. The LS2 (2005–2007) and LS3 (2008–2013) are different engines. Both use the C6’s specific dry-sump oil pan and accessory configuration that differs from truck and Camaro applications. Our application review confirms the correct engine for your C6 before it ships.
C6 Corvette owners comparing a used engine, a remanufactured engine, and an OEM engine for the LS2 or LS3 will find the used OEM route most compelling for factory specification accuracy. A used C6 Corvette engine from a verified low-mileage donor gives you the factory LS2 or LS3 as an OEM engine — the C6-specific dry-sump oil pan, the factory 400 or 430 hp calibration — at a price that no remanufactured engine from a mixed core can match for factory authenticity. Choosing a used C6 Corvette OEM engine is how you restore the factory sports car performance this platform was built to deliver.
Every used C6 Corvette engine ships with up to a 90-day warranty and arrives within 2 to 5 business days. Installation is not included. These are genuine GM OEM engines, and we stand behind every unit.
