I know what I want for Christmas!
GM has just introduced a new crate engine with big block power in a small block package. read on!
The new LSX454 crate engine (part number 19166972) revives a classic Chevy engine designation and brings it to the LSX engine family. It uses the LSX Bowtie block, along with an all-forged, super-tough rotating assembly and a pair of GMPP’s new, deep-breathing LSX six-bolt cylinder heads. It is topped with a high-rise intake manifold and four-barrel carburetor.
The new LSX six-bolt cylinder heads are based on the racing-derived LS7 heads that help deliver more than 500 horsepower in the Corvette Z06. They enable tremendous low-end torque and great high-rpm power. The LSX454 is rated at 620 horsepower and 600 lb.-ft. of torque.
The LSX454 is delivered in Deluxe form, so it includes everything from the carburetor to the water pump. It also comes dressed with great-looking, all-new orange powder-coated valve covers with “LSX454” logos engraved and painted black.
