The Chevrolet Gen V LT (LT1) 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).
It is one of 14 engines in the Gen V LT family, sitting between the 325 ci and 400.6 ci members. 11 factory variants share these dimensions, rated at 455 hp across 2014–2024.
