A Brief History
The LS engine series was introduced in 1997 with the Gen III small-block, designated as the LS1. This new generation of engines was designed to replace the aging small-block V8 that had powered Chevrolet vehicles for decades. The LS1 made its debut in the 1997 Chevrolet Corvette, boasting an impressive combination of power and efficiency. Over the years, the LS series has expanded to include a variety of configurations and displacements, catering to different performance needs and applications.
