The GM LS-Series engines have made history.
These engines produce copious amounts of horsepower and do it very efficiently, and therefore the LS engines have been installed in many GM cars as well as transplanted into hot rods and multitudes of muscle cars.

By adding more cubic inches, these engines are producing exceptional horsepower and torque.
