A FUTURE CLASSIC

With its classic 427-cubic-inch displacement and racing-derived features, including featherweight titanium connecting rods, the 505-hp LS7 7.0L made its mark in the C6 Corvette Z06 and advanced its legacy in the fifth-generation Camaro Z/28.

Chevrolet Performance’s powerful LS7 crate engine is based on the production specifications of the Gen 5 Z/28 application, including unique Tri-Y exhaust manifolds, which are designed to take advantage of the engine’s firing order to deliver a combination of pulse separation of adjacent firing cylinders and improved scavenging – all for optimal performance.

The LS7 is hand-assembled at the Performance Build Center at GM’s Bowling Green, Ky., assembly plant. It uses a unique cylinder block casting with pressed-in steel cylinder liners to accommodate the engine’s large, 4.125-inch cylinder bores – with deck-plate boring and honing for optimized bore geometry. The bottom end is complemented by high-flow, CNC-ported heads featuring large-volume, straight-passage intake runners and 2.20-inch titanium intake valves.

Our crate engine package includes a dry-sump oil pan. Builders will need to supply the external oil tank and oil lines to the engine, but the rest of the assembly is fully dressed. Use LS7 Controller Kit P/N 19354334 to get it running in your project vehicle.
