I can copy and paste stuff... lol
The LS3 was introduced as the Corvette's new base engine for the 2008 model year. It produces 430 hp (320 kW) at 5900 rpm and 424 ft·lbf (575 N·m) at 4600
and
what he had before... LT1
The 93-95 F-bodies were rated at 275 horsepower (205 kW) and 325 lb·ft (441 N·m), while the 96-97 cars were rated at 285 horsepower (213 kW) and 335 lb·ft (454 N·m)
big diff in numbers is one of the big differences between the motors.

i posted this on 2 other threads but nobody has replied to me.. so maybe somebody on this thread can help...
i was reading a little and saw that an ls3 and a l92 are kinda the same? Or is it they just have kinda the same headers?
Is it true that the ls3 also is from a truck? cuz thats what i was told but then i was told and was reading and kept seeing that its from c6 vette...
And whats an ls7?

i dont know about any ls3's in trucks but their definately in c6 vettes, and the ls7 is the motor built by god himself and is the definition of perfection lol. ls7's are motors from C6ZO6 corvettes.
copied and pasted from wikipedia:
The LS7 is a 7.0 L (7,011 cc/427.8 cu in) engine, based on the Gen IV architecture. The block is changed, with sleeved pistons and a larger 4.125 in (104.9 mm) bore and longer 4.00 in (101.6 mm) stroke than the LS2. The small-block's 4.4 in (111.8 mm) bore spacing is retained, requiring pressed-in cylinder liners. The crankshaft and main bearing caps are forged steel for durability, the connecting rods are forged titanium, and the pistons are hypereutectic. The two-valve arrangement is retained, though the titanium intake valves by Del West have grown to 2.20 in (55.9 mm) and sodium-filled exhaust valves are up to 1.61 in (40.9 mm).
Peak output is 505 hp (377 kW) at 6300 rpm and 470 ft·lbf (637 N·m) at 4800 rpm with a 7000 rpm redline setting a new record for a production overhead valve pushrod engine.[citation needed] During GM's reliability testing of this engine in its prototype phase, the LS7 was remarked to have been repeatedly tested to be 8000 rpm capable, although power was not made at that rpm level, due to the constraints of the camshaft's profile and the intake manifold ability to flow required air at that engine speed.
The LS7 is hand-built by the General Motors Performance Build Center in Wixom, Michigan. Most of these engines are installed in the Z06, but some are also sold to individuals by GM as a crate engine.
