ls8 engine

The LS8 engine is a part of GM's LS family, often praised for its robust performance and tuning potential. It typically features 5.3L displacement, V8 configuration, and outputs around 320-355 horsepower depending on the version. Known for its aluminium block and heads, it strikes a nice balance between power and weight. Common issues include:

  • Oil consumption quirks
  • Intake manifold gasket leaks
  • Ignition coil failures

Prices for donor vehicles with an LS8 can vary widely, but used engines might run from around AUD 3,000 to 6,000 on Tradingpost or CarShowroom. Always consult official GM documentation for precise specs and maintenance advice.
