=====LS1=====
When introduced in the 1997 Corvette, the LS1 was rated at {{cvt|345|hp|0}} at 5,600 rpm and {{cvt|350|lbft|0}} at 4,400 rpm.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Amann |first=Richard W. |last2=Damico |first2=Mark A. |last3=Green |first3=Brian |last4=Hahn |first4=Charles J. |last5=Haider |first5=Ameer |last6=Juriga |first6=John W. |last7=Mantey |first7=Creighton A. |date=1997-02-24 |title=1997 GM 5.7 Liter LS1 V8 Engine |url=https://www.sae.org/content/970915/ |journal=SAE Technical Paper |doi=10.4271/970915}}</ref> After improvements to the intake and exhaust manifolds in 2001, the rating improved to {{cvt|350|hp|0}} and {{cvt|365|lbft|0}} ({{cvt|375|lbft|0}} for manual-transmission Corvettes.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a15132706/2005-chevrolet-corvette-z51-road-test/)|title=2005 Chevrolet Corvette Z51 |date=September 2004 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.gmperformanceparts.com/Parts/showcase_detail.jsp?engine=2 |title=LS Engines - Small Block Engine - Crate Engine |publisher=GM Performance Parts |date=March 24, 2011 |access-date=January 25, 2012 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111230121232/http://www.gmperformanceparts.com/Parts/showcase_detail.jsp?engine=2 |archive-date=December 30, 2011 |df=mdy-all }}</ref> The LS1 was used in the Corvette from 97 to 04. It was also used in 98-02 GM F-Body (Camaro & Firebird) cars with a rating of over {{cvt|305|–|345|hp|0}}, which was rumored to be conservative. The extra horsepower was claimed to come from the intake ram-air effect available in the SS and WS6 models. In Australia, continuous modifications were made to the LS1 engine throughout its lifetime, reaching 382 hp/376 ft-lb in the [[Holden Special Vehicles|HSV's]] VYII series, and a [[Callaway Cars Incorporated|Callaway]] modified version named "C4B" was fitted to HSV GTS models producing {{cvt|400|bhp|0}} and {{cvt|376|lbft|0}} of torque.<ref name="ls1">{{cite web|url=https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/gm-engines/ls1/|publisher=GM Authority|access-date=October 22, 2021|title=GM 5.7 Liter V8 Small Block LS1 Engine|date=June 13, 2016|archive-date=September 24, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240924071139/https://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/gm-engines/ls1/|url-status=live}}</ref>

LS6 intake manifolds were also used on all 2001+ LS1/6 engines. The casting number, located on the top rear edge of the block, is 12561168.

*=====LH8=====*
The LH8 was introduced in 2008 as the V8 option for the Hummer H3. It was the simplest, most basic 5.3L V8 of its family, lacking any special technologies. Also known as the Vortec 5300, the LH8 was available in the H3 and GM mid-size pickups through 2009.

=====LS427=====
The '''LS427''' is a {{cvt|7011|cc|L cuin|1}} engine based on the LS7
Unlike the LS7, the LS427 uses a conventional wet-sump oiling system with an F-body aluminum oil pan and wet-sump pump, eliminating the need for an external oil tank and plumbing required by the LS7's dry-sump system. This change makes the engine easier to install in a wider range of vehicles.
Peak output is {{cvt|570|bhp|PS kW|0}} and {{cvt|540|lbft|Nm|0}} of [[Torque#Machine torque|torque]] with a 7000 rpm redline.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.chevrolet.com/performance-parts/crate-engines/ls/ls427-570|website=chevrolet.com|title=GM LS427/570|access-date=July 17, 2023}}</ref>▼

Other changes include fifth-generation Camaro Z/28 exhaust manifolds and a 14 in manual transmission flywheel from the Z/28 platform, replacing the LS7’s stock components. It retains key LS7 features such as forged steel crankshaft, titanium connecting rods, CNC-ported aluminum cylinder heads with 70cc combustion chambers, and a 7000 rpm redline.
The engine is supplied fully assembled with intake manifold, fuel rails, injectors, throttle body, ignition coil packs, balancer, and water pump. It requires a specific LS427/570 engine controller (P/N 19420000) calibrated for this engine.
The LS427 was discontinued in January 2022 along with the LS7.

{{For|the 5.7 L Generation II engine of the same RPO|Chevrolet small-block engine (first- and second-generation)#LT4}}
The {{cvt|6162|cc|L cuin|1|order=flip}} LT4 engine builds on the design strengths of the previous LS9 [[supercharged]] engine used in the sixth-generation Corvette ZR1 and leverages the technologies introduced on the seventh-generation Corvette Stingray, including direct injection, cylinder deactivation, and continuously variable valve timing, to take Corvette performance to an all-new level. The LT4 engine is based on the same Gen 5 small block foundation as the Corvette Stingray's LT1 6.2L naturally aspirated engine, incorporating several unique features designed to support its higher output and the greater cylinder pressures created by forced induction, including: Rotocast A356T6 aluminum cylinder heads that are stronger and handle heat better than conventional aluminum heads, lightweight titanium intake valves, forged powder metal steel connecting rods, 10.0:1 compression ratio, enhanced performance and efficiency enabled by direct injection, forged aluminum pistons with unique, stronger structure to ensure strength under high cylinder pressures, stainless steel exhaust manifolds for structure at higher temperatures, aluminum balancer for reduced mass, and standard dry-sump oiling system with a dual-pressure-control oil pump.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/gm-engines/lt4/|title=GM 6.2 Liter Supercharged V8 Small Block LT4 Engine|website=GM Authority|date=April 16, 2014|language=en-us|access-date=September 8, 2017|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170911020726/http://gmauthority.com/blog/gm/gm-engines/lt4|archive-date=September 11, 2017|df=mdy-all}}</ref> The engine uses a {{cvt|1.7|L|cuin|1}} Eaton TVS Supercharger.
