Description
The C8 Corvette engine, Chevrolet’s LT2 6.2L V8, redefined American performance with its groundbreaking mid-engine placement. This naturally aspirated powerhouse produces 490–495 hp, making it the most advanced base Corvette engine ever offered. Featuring direct injection, variable valve timing, and an 11.5:1 compression ratio, the LT2 maximizes efficiency and track-ready power.
The LT2’s compact design and dry-sump oiling system ensure consistent lubrication during hard cornering. Perfect for direct replacement in 2020+ Corvette C8 models, it’s also a dream engine for exotic swaps, much like the legendary LS6 motor. Whether restoring a Stingray or upgrading performance, the C8 engine combines modern reliability with thrilling output.
C8 LT2 engine fitment is unique to the C8 Stingray application and requires the specific mid-engine oil pan, accessory configuration, and engine management interface designed for the transverse rear-mid mounting. This is not interchangeable with any previous Corvette application. Our application review confirms all compatibility requirements before your engine ships.
C8 Corvette owners comparing a used engine, a remanufactured engine, and an OEM engine for the LT2 understand that the C8’s mid-engine architecture makes proper factory specifications critical. A used C8 Corvette LT2 engine from a verified low-mileage donor gives you the factory OEM engine assembly with the mid-engine specific oil pan, the factory dry-sump system, and the factory LT2 calibration intact — as an OEM engine that no remanufactured engine built from a different application core can correctly replicate for this unique application.
Every used C8 Corvette engine ships with up to a 90-day warranty and arrives within 2 to 5 business days. Installation is not included. C8-specialist installation is required. These are genuine GM OEM engines, and we stand behind every unit.
