For what seems like
forever, the legendary
Gen-1 small-block
engine has been the
power plant of choice
for Chevrolet off-road
competition. Today, a growing
number of race teams are
turning to the vast horsepower
potential of the latest generation
of GM's LS –based engines. The
reason is that LS engine feature
lightweight, strength and size
options that allow engine builders
to bore and stroke these motors
to near 500-cubic inches. But
with larger displacements, there's a need for products that help
these engines achieve their full
power potential, especially if
they are going to be used in an
off-road racing environment.
So to get a feel for what some
off-road teams and enthusiasts
are using as a foundation, we
reached out to a handful of
engine builders and asked
them to let us in on what parts
make these engines so durable
and powerful. While not all-
inclusive, here's a short list of
some of the more popular LS
engine performance items from
engine blocks to oil pans. SJ
