By ETHAN ZACK
The LS3 crate engine is an iteration of the V8 that boasts 430 hp and 425 lb-ft of torque. It’s manufactured by General Motors, and is frequently associated with Chevrolet.
As of April 2024, the standard 430-hp LS3 6.2L model runs for roughly $9,679.21, a 20% markdown from its suggested retail price of $12,175.11.
Other models clock in a decent bit above or below that number. The extra-powerful LS376/525 hits a loftier sum of $11,289.50, while the LS3 long block variation is $6,195.70.
