🔧 GM LS1 5.7L V8 Engine
The GM LS1 is one of the most significant engines in automotive history. Introduced in the 1997 Corvette C5, its all-aluminium block and heads produced 345 hp in a lightweight 198 kg package. GM sold the LS1 in the Corvette C5, Camaro SS F-body, Firebird Trans Am, GTO, and internationally in the Holden Commodore HSV. Aftermarket support is unparalleled — thousands of companies offer LS1 components and the engine has been swapped into nearly every imaginable vehicle.
