Cadillac LSA specs: 376 ci (6.2L) 8-cylinder, 4.065 x 3.622 in (103.3 x 92 mm) bore and stroke, 9.1:1 compression. Rated 556 hp, 2009–2015. OHV.
The Cadillac 376ci (LSA) is oversquare — the 4.065" bore exceeds the 3.622" stroke by 12.2% — a layout that favors airflow and RPM over leverage at the crank. The 3.622" stroke puts mean piston speed at 4,000 ft/min around 6,650 RPM, which is where a production bottom end is generally considered at its limit. Each of the 8 cylinders displaces 47.0 ci (770 cc).
9.1:1 on aluminum heads is low by modern standards and generally happy on regular pump fuel.
It is one of 7 engines in the Cadillac 376ci family, all of them 376 ci — the differences between them are in compression, heads and rating, not displacement. 7 factory variants share these dimensions, rated at 556 hp across 2009–2015.
