The LS3 was introduced as the Corvette's new base engine for the 2008 model year. It produces 430 hp (321 kW) at 6000 rpm and 424 ft·lbf of torque (575 N·m) at 4400 rpm and is SAE certified. The block is an updated version of the LS2 casting featuring a larger bore of 4.06 in creating a displacement of 6.2 L (376 in³), 0.2 L larger than the LS2. It also features higher flowing cylinder heads sourced from the L92, a more aggressive camshaft with 0.551" lift, a revised valvetrain with 6 mm offset intake rocker arms, a high-flow intake manifold and 47 lb/hr fuel injectors from the LS7 engine
