imageWith the all-new, 400+ horsepower LS2, GM has once again raised the bar for production-based small-block V-8 performance. As the standard engine in the 2005 Corvette the Gen IV 6.0-liter LS2 builds on the success of the popular Gen III V-8 engine with more displacement, power and technical innovation.

The LS 2 is built on a new Gen IV cylinder block, which shares much of its design with the previous Gen III V-8 design, including a deep-skirt, six-bolt main block with structural oil pan. Subtle differences include the crankcase vent moved to the top of the valley, relocated knock sensors and the cam sensor moved to the front of the engine. The LS2's cylinder heads are high-flow pieces used previously on Corvette LS6 engines. High-tech features, such as an electronically controlled throttle make the LS2 a state-of-the-art performer.
