The power numbers listed here are only a fraction of all the different power levels. We've chosen to illustrate the range by showing early numbers followed by the most recent '04 power levels. Note for example that the '04 Corvette LS1 now makes almost 15 percent more horsepower than it did in the '98 Camaro. | | Engine | Horsepower | Torque | Application | | LR4-4.8L | 255 @ 5,200 | 285 @ 4,000 | '99 Truck | | 270 @ 5,200 | 285 @ 4,000 | | | 285 @ 5,200 | 295 @ 4,000 | '04 Truck | | LM7-5.3L | 265 @ 5,000 | 320 @ 4,000 | '99 Truck | | 285 @ 5,200 | 325 @ 4,000 | | | 295 @ 5,200 | 330 @ 4,000 | '04 Truck | | SSR-5.3L | 300 @ 5,200 | 330 @ 4,000 | SSR Pickup | | LS1-5.7 | 305 @ 5,200 | 335 @ 4,000 | '98-'99 Camaro | | 350 @ 5,200 | 375 @ 4,000* | '04 Corvette | | LS6-5.7L | 385 @ 6,000 | 385 @ 4,800 | '01 Corvette | | 400 @ 6,000 | 400 @ 4,800 | '04 Corvette | | LQ4-6.0LL | 300 @ 4,800 | 360 @ 4,000 | ''01 Truck | | 325 @ 4,400 | 365 @ 4,000 | '04 Truck | | LQ9-6.0L | 345 @ 5,200 | 380 @ 4,000 | '04 SS Truck |  There are at least four oil...  There are at least four oil pans for the Gen III engine. The best pan is the Camaro style (right). The Corvette pan employs those kick-out wings (center), while the truck pan (left) is the deepest and would need to be modified for ground clearance. There's also a fourth pan used on the 5.3L engine used in the SSR truck that is easily identified by its large horizontal hole through the pan. |  There are several intake manifolds...  There are several intake manifolds with the big change between the truck manifolds (left) and the Corvette/Camaro version (right). The best factory intake is the LS6 that is reportedly worth around 10 hp over the LS1. |  Even the balancers are different....  Even the balancers are different. The Corvette is the shallowest with the F-car slightly deeper, while the truck units push the beltdrive out the farthest from the front of the engine. |  The new GTO LS1 engine uses...  The new GTO LS1 engine uses yet a different pan with a front sump design that might be useful in certain engine-swap applications. |  |  |
