How to
Build High-Performance Chevy LS1/LS6 V-8s
by Will Handzel.
In 1997 Chevrolet did the unthinkable: they re-designed the most popular and
most modified engine in American history.
The Chevrolet small-block V-8 made its
debut in 1955, and with its arrival, Chevrolet instantly leaped to the forefront
in the minds of hot rodders and performance enthusiasts alike. While the engine
grew in displacement and technology over the next 30 years, its basic design
remained unchanged . . . until 1997, when the Generation III LS1/LS6 engine
design was introduced. The LS1 engine first appeared in the 1997 Corvette, and
soon followed in the Camaro Firebird and thousands of full-size Chevy trucks and
SUVs. It also powers the hot new Pontiac GTO!
This book is essential for the
enthusiast who wants to get the most performance out of this new engine design
but is only familiar with the older Chevy small-blocks. Covered is everything
you need to know about these engines, including the difficult engine removal and
installation, simple engine bolt-ons, electronic controls for the Generation III
engine, and detailed engine builds at four different power levels.
