We welcomed this big beautiful crate to our shop yesterday. It contained our GM Performance Parts Crate LS3 6.2L V8 engine (GM Part# 19257230)  that’s soon going to find refuge in the engine bay of project 240.

The beauty of a crate engine package such as this one, is that GM Performance Parts throws in everything you need to bolt this engine up to your transmission of choice and drive. Along with the complete 430HP LS3 long block, our crate package included a GM Performance Intake, Wiring Harness, ECU, Electronic Gas Pedal, 2 sets of exhaust manifolds (ones with o2 sensor bungs, and ones without), various emissions equipment for street-legal swaps, and even a CARB sticker for California residents. The crate LS3 package is just that, a complete package solution.

Stay tuned as we source a few additional vital parts before we get this beast into our engine bay, and onto the track.
