The engine

LT1 / L87

6.2L V8

GM's naturally-aspirated 6.2-liter small-block V8 is an American icon — pushrod-simple, torque-rich, and gloriously old-school, whether powering a Camaro SS or hauling a Suburban.

The latest evolution of the legendary Chevrolet small-block first launched in 1955, the pushrod V8 endures for its compact size, low weight and effortless low-end grunt.
