Every Generation of General Motors LS Engine Ranked Worst to Best

9. Aluminum Block Truck Variants (L92/L9H/L94) – “LS3 Performance on a Budget”

Here’s a sleeper pick. These truck-based aluminum blocks share a ton with the LS3 — same performance, just cheaper and easier to find. The L92 makes 403 hp stock. The L94 can run E85 and hit 700 hp with a turbo and injector upgrade.

They’re light, responsive, and mod-friendly. Perfect for swaps where you want V8 grunt without the LS3 price tag. Just don’t tell the Corvette guys you sourced it from a Yukon.
