LS Series 19170112 or 19244611 LSX454 Crate Engine
$9,608.00Vintage displacement. thoroughly modern technology. stunning performance. An engine with 454 cubic inches of displacement will always be
associated with higher-performance Chevys, and that tradition continues with the all-new LSX454 crate engine. We started with the LSX Bowtie block (see page 200 for more info), stuffed it with an all-forged, super-tough rotating assembly, bolted on a pair of our new deep-breathing LSX six-bolt cylinder heads and topped off the combination with a high-rise intake/four-barrel induction system. The new LSX six-bolt cylinder heads are based on the racing-derived LS7 heads that help deliver more than 500 horsepower in the Corvette Z06. They enable tremendous low-end torque and great high-rpm power. The LSX454 is delivered in Deluxe form, so you get everything from the carbur etor to the water pump. It also comes dressed with great-looking, all-new orange powder- coated valve covers with “LSX454” logos engraved and painted black. We tested the LSX454 combination on none other than Reggie Jackson’s custom 1969 Camaro, which showcased the possibilities of high 10s in the quarter-mile, 150-mph top speed and more. See page 300 for information on our reference guide P/N 88959384 for installing an LS engine in an older car.
NOTE: Due to the number of application variations, the LSX454 crate engine is supplied with a dust shield instead of an oil pan. See the LS Engine Components section for production-style oil pan choices.
