L8P
We’ve optimized every cubic inch of our largest-displacement LT engine with the unique L8P performance crate engine. With 523 horsepower and 543 lb.-ft. of torque, this package combines the displacement and heavy-duty strength of our production-based L8T 6.6L engine plus a unique camshaft based off the LT2.
It’s all rooted in the tough foundation of the L8T, with a forged steel crankshaft, high-strength parts, high-flow heads and composite intake manifold. We then add a more performance-oriented valvetrain, including valves, springs, and an LT2- based camshaft. It features more lift and duration to help draw more air and fuel into the engine, which helps build power.
Our L8P crate engine package comes complete from the throttle body to the oil pan, including the PCV tube, evap tube, oil dipstick, oil fill tube and cap. It does not include the controller, harness, oxygen sensors or a Front End Accessory Drive system. See Installation Notes below for recommendations.
