2024 Chevrolet Silverado ZR2

Small-Block

6.2L V8

Old-school pushrod V8 character with a deep, hard-edged bark, delivering broad, accessible torque whether mounted mid-ship in the Corvette Stingray or hauling in the Silverado ZR2.

The latest descendant of Chevrolet's small-block V8 lineage that has powered the Corvette since 1955, retaining the original engine's 4.40-inch bore spacing; the Corvette's LT2 variant is built in Tonawanda, New York, birthplace of the original small-block.

• The C8 Corvette's LT2 was the first base Corvette to use a dry-sump oiling system as standard, vital for sustained cornering loads.
• It keeps a simple two-valve pushrod valvetrain, a deliberate choice that helped hold the Corvette's base price down.
• Engines carry 'Tonawanda Pride' badges honoring the small upstate New York town that built the first Chevy small-blocks.
