Spring Fever: LS3 Crate Motor
If the Corvette owner in your life wants big power via an engine swap but doesn’t want to deal with building the C5R block we just looked at, this LS376/480 crate motor brings big power with a warranty.
Smith Parts Center put together this 6.2L LS3 engine with their special high performance “hot cam,” and the result is a healthy 480hp and 475lb-ft of torque ? all of which is supported by a 2 year, 50,000 mile warranty. This motor is ready to drop in, bolt down and fire up for just $6,599.
