About the LS9 Crate Engine

GM built the LS9 for the 2009-2013 Corvette ZR1. It uses a 2.3L Eaton supercharger with an integrated intercooler, titanium connecting rods, forged pistons and a dry-sump oiling system. Rated at 638 horsepower and 604 lb-ft, it was the most powerful production engine GM had made at the time. Chevrolet Performance later offered the LS9 crate engine for builders who wanted that same performance.

The LS9 crate engine suits high-end restomods and pro-touring builds that need factory-engineered supercharged power.

What to Plan For

• Dry-sump tank and lines or a wet-sump conversion.
• Intercooler coolant circuit and heat exchanger.
• Control electronics and a fuel system for boost.

Installation Tips

Follow the dry-sump oil fill procedure, verify intercooler pump flow and monitor intake air temperatures during tuning.
