Chevrolet LT-1

Automotive Engines

The Chevrolet LT-1 is a 350 cubic inch (5.7 litre) small-block engine that the Chevrolet division of General Motors built from 1970 to 1972. It was offered only in the Corvette and in the Camaro, where it came with the high-performance Z/28 option and replaced the 302 cubic inch engine designed for the Trans Am racing class. A Nova could also be ordered with it through a Central Office Production Order, and dealer Don Yenko converted a further batch of Novas. At launch it used an 11.0 to 1 compression ratio, a Holley four-barrel carburetor and solid lifters, and was rated at 370 gross horsepower in the Corvette. Ratings fell in 1971 and 1972 as compression dropped and figures moved to a net basis. General Motors reused the LT1 name in 1992 for a different, later 350 engine.
