Although we’re mainly focused on the newer engine platforms, we still get plenty of requests for LS options. With C5/C6 Corvettes, F-bodies, and NBS/NNBS trucks now over 20 years old, it’s time to start considering these as true modern classics.
While we can always drop in a Gen V swap, some guys just want something simple — an engine they can drop in with minimal wiring and get right to driving. For those who still love the LS platform or are looking to upgrade their existing swap, we’ve got something new for you.
Meet the LS.R.
At the heart of this setup is a Gen 4 6.0L iron block featuring a Callies 8ccw crank, Carillo Boostline rods, and custom Wiseco pistons — all coming together to make a snappy 400 cubic-inch combo.
Sure, 408s, 427s, and 4xx builds sound cool, but we’ve had incredible success with our “little” 400ci boost-loving monster. This engine easily makes 1,000 horsepower, which is plenty for most builds — and if you want more, we’ve got options for that too.
Here’s the best part — we’ve locked in a solid connection for 4L80 transmissions, but we’re also equipped to pair the LS.R with the 10-speed automatic, yes, even for your NBS, NNBS, or F-body.
