Nothing, it's just what was designated for this particular engine. Just like WS6 doesn't stand for anything. It's just an rpo code that let's you know of the WS6 "package".

Yeah, people often ask what LT1/LT4/LS1/LS6/LS2/LS7/LS4 stands for and it's more or less an RPO code name that was given to each engine. Just like the Z28, WS6, Z06, S10, etc. There are really not meaning behind the names, more or less they are just RPO codes. Hope this helps.

(Z24) = Z package, 2 doors, 4 car lenghts on a Neon.
