Heavy-Duty Power from Chevy’s HD Trucks
With 401 horsepower and 464 lb.-ft. of torque on tap, the L8T crate engine is the largest-displacement LT-family engine in our lineup, offering plenty of low-rpm torque. Direct injection offers more precise fuel control than port injection, enabling a comparatively high compression ratio of 10.8:1 in the engine, which contributes to its high output.
It’s built with a forged steel crankshaft and other high-strength parts. Additional features such as oil-spray cooling for the pistons and a cast iron, long-skirt cylinder block with six-bolt, cross-bolted main caps contribute to the engine’s strength and durability.
