Chevrolet LFV specs: 90.8 ci (1.5L) 4-cylinder, 2.913 x 3.409 in (74 x 86.6 mm) bore and stroke, 10:1 compression. Rated 160-163 hp, 2016–2025.
The Chevrolet 91ci (LFV) is undersquare — the 3.4094" stroke exceeds the 2.9134" bore by 14.5% — a layout that trades peak RPM for leverage and torque low in the range. The 3.4094" stroke does not reach 4,000 ft/min of mean piston speed until about 7,050 RPM, so piston speed is not what limits this engine's revs — valvetrain and breathing are. Each of the 4 cylinders displaces 22.7 ci (372 cc).
10:1 on aluminum heads is in the range that usually runs on pump premium; aluminum sheds heat faster than iron, which makes the same number a little more forgiving.
It is one of 3 engines in the Chevrolet 91ci family, all of them 90.8 ci — the differences between them are in compression, heads and rating, not displacement. 10 factory variants share these dimensions, rated from 160 to 163 hp across 2016–2025.
