SynopsisIn 1997 Chevrolet did the unthinkable: it re-designed the most popular and most modified engine in American history. The Chevrolet small-block V-8 made its debut in 1955, and with its arrival, Chevrolet instantly leaped to the forefront in the minds of hot rodders and performance enthusiasts alike. While the engine grew in displacement and technology over the next 30 years, its basic design remained unchanged . . . until 1997, when the Generation III LS1/LS6 engine design was introduced. The LS1 engine first appeared in the 1997 Corvette, and soon followed in the Camaro, Firebird, and thousands of full-size Chevy trucks and SUVs. This book is essential for the enthusiast who wants to get the most performance out of this engine design but is only familiar with the older Chevy small-blocks. Along with full-color photos, this book includes everything you need to know about these engines, including the difficult engine removal and installation, simple engine bolt-ons, electronic controls for the Generation III engine, and detailed engine builds at four different power levels., In 1997 Chevrolet did the unthinkable: it re-designed the most popular and most modified engine in American history.

Good book that helps you determine how far you want to go with your modifications and how much HP gains to expect.
Item I as described and delivered promptly. It was useful in that it divided the options into bolt-on mods and mods that required a more involved tear down.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
