Can You Buy Just A ZL1 Motor Through GM?

Just wondering if they only made a handfull that went in the new ZL1 cars or can I buy one through GM?

Thanks,

Are you talking about those 4th gen ZL1 conversions, with a 427 ci engine?

I'm pretty certain those weren't done by GM, but thru a dealership.


If your just intersted in a 7L LS1/LS6/C5R based engine, there are shops that can build you one, like MTI.....

i believe jasper engines offered an equivalent to the 4th gen zl1 motor. or go larger with a donovan.

They were not made by GM, dealers had them built for specialty vehicles. Also not to be confused but GM now makes a new big block fuel injected ZL1 454.(about $21,000 motor only each)

Go to SLP. They sell the engine for $25,000. GMMG will give you one installed for $30,000

Wow, I could find better things to do with 30 grand :eek:

I'm going to go out on a limb and assume bill is talking about the 2002 ZL1 camaro by GMMG that came w/ an LS6. Scoggin dickey parts has an LS6 with the F-body oil pan for sale as a crate motor. The only major differences between the LS1 and LS6 are the heads and cam and intake package (although 01-02 cars have an LS6 intake). The LS6 block is slightly stronger and has slightly better oiling, although some F bodys have LS6 blocks.

The 2002 ZL1's came with a 427 as there stage 3 version. Stage 1 and 2 had the ls6 with some modifacations from gmmg, like intake manifold and heads to name a few. The stage 3 motor is 30 grand.

the standard set-up in the 02' zl1 cars was basicly just a gen III LS6. that's how the package was based, the 427 versions were specially requested.
