Get 570 Horsepower Worth of LS7 with the Chevrolet Performance LS427/570 Crate Engine

Chevrolet Performance has done it again. It’s created a new LS7 crate engine that makes 570 horsepower and 540 lbs.-ft. of torque at the crank, ready to drop in your next hot rod project. All that horsepower is covered by a 24-month/50,000 mile factory limited warranty, too.

The LS427/570 was built with engine swaps in mind. Chevrolet Performance replaced the OE LS7 dry sump oiling system with a wet sump system for easier installation. That means you don’t have to make room for a dry sump oil reservoir tank or plumbing, a big plus for smaller engine bays.

Other features include:
• 11:1 compression
• Production LS7 crate engine short block
• Block drilled for engine oil dipstick
• Chevrolet Performance hydraulic roller camshaft—.591"/.590” lift @.050”, 227°/242° duration, 116° LSA
• 1998-02 Camaro wet sump oil pan with LS3 oil pump
• CNC-Ported LS7 cylinder heads with 2.200"/1.610" titanium valves
• Low-profile LS7 EFI intake with fuel rails, injectors, and throttle body
• 5th-gen Camaro Z/28 tubular exhaust manifolds
• Ignition coil packs, ignition wires, and spark plugs
• Harmonic balancer and water pump
• Camaro Z/28 168-tooth manual transmission flywheel

The Chevrolet Performance LS427/570 crate engine runs on premium pump gas and has a 7,000 RPM rev limit. It's designed for use with the LS427 Engine Controller NAL-19420000. This controller is calibrated by GM engineers specifically for this engine, and has all the wiring and connections you need to get up and running, and nothing you don’t.

Eventually you’ll need to change the oil, oil filter, air filter, and coolant for your LS427/570. Keep it all factory-approved with these Mobil 1, ACDelco, and Chevrolet Performance products:

Mobil 1 15W-50 Motor Oil
Mobil 1 full synthetic motor oil is recommended for all Chevrolet Performance crate engines. The LS427/570 will need Mobil 1 15W-50 oil to provide exceptional protection against wear even under extreme conditions. It will help keep your crate engine running like new by reducing sludge, deposit buildup, and minimizing oil breakdown. Mobil 1 flows as low as -40 degrees Fahrenheit—no worries about oil starvation at engine startup—and can withstand temperatures up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.

ACDelco Professional Oil Filter
An ACDelco Professional oil filter traps particles down to 25 microns—one-third the width of a human hair. It has tight seals to prevent unfiltered oil from entering your engine and is available with or without anti-drainback and bypass relief valves.

ACDelco Professional Air Filter Elements
ACDelco Professional air filter elements use world-class filter technology to block 99 percent of airborne dust and dirt that can accelerate cylinder wall, piston, and piston ring wear. They have tight-fitting seals to prevent unfiltered air from getting in your engine and are covered by a 12-month/12,000-mile limited warranty.

If you're installing a LS427/570 in a hot rod, classic muscle car, or truck, the conical style air filter for the 2014-15 Camaro Z/28 is your best bet. We also have factory-replacement filters for LS7s in 2006-13 Corvettes.

Chevrolet Performance Dex-Cool Coolant
Chevrolet Performance Dex-Cool coolant is factory-approved for its crate engines. The coolant is free of silicates and phosphates and will extend the life of your radiator and water pump. It’s available as a 50/50 premix or ready-to-mix.
