Product Overview
Chevrolet Performance Connect and Cruise LS 376/480 hp engine and transmission packages are factory-matched engine-and-transmission combinations that save time and guesswork. Their engineers matched the engines and transmissions for optimal performance and durability, so you can wring out every horsepower from them with total confidence. The specially calibrated controllers are designed for easy and quick installation in older vehicles--without the need for third-party tuning.
Connect and Cruise LS 376/480 engines mix the racing-inspired LS "Hot Cam" with the powerful LS3 6.2L to deliver a stunning 495 hp and 473 lbs.-ft. of torque. That's nearly 14 percent more power and torque from a simple camshaft change that will wake up your resto-mod musclecar, street rod, or classic truck. With one package you get the engine, automatic or manual transmission, electronic controllers, and all the necessary wiring harnesses. Put one of these combinations to work in your classic cruiser and enjoy a great balance of performance and efficiency!
Each Chevrolet Performance Connect and Cruise system includes:
* Instruction sheet
* Brand new, fully assembled crate engine
* Brand new manual transmission
* Calibrated engine control module
* Two oxygen sensors and mounting bosses (for installation in the exhaust system)
* Mass airflow meter and mounting boss (for installation in the air intake system)
* Throttle pedal assembly (for use with the electronically-operated throttle)
* Assembled wiring harness with fuse box and necessary cam sensor and MAP sensor jumpers
* Oil pressure sensor that is compatible with the harness
* 24-month/50,000-mile limited warranty
Engine specifications:
* LS376/480 (376 c.i.d.)
* 495 hp @ 6,200 rpm
* 473 lbs.-ft. @ 5,000 rpm
* 10.7:1 compression ratio
Automatic transmission specifications:
* 4L70-E 4-speed automatic
* 5-pinion gear sets
* 3.06 first gear ratio, 0.70 overdrive ratio
* 30.75 in. long (approx.)
Notes:
* All components, engine, transmission, torque converter, and controllers are delivered separately.
* Additional components to complete the engine assembly and get the vehicle running are required, including: fuel tank and fuel lines (re-circulating or returnless); 58 psi (400 kPa) fuel pump; and an air induction system that incorporates the mass airflow sensor.
* All engines require a front-end accessory drive system; the included instruction manual provides recommendations and Chevrolet Performance offers several--all allow easy deletion of air conditioning.
* The LS1 Engine Installation Guide (P/N 88959384), which illustrates basic procedures and offers helpful tips on installing an LS engine into older vehicles, is recommended.
* Connect and Cruise engine controllers and SuperMatic transmission controllers do not utilize a number of features associated with production-model systems, eliminating possible "trouble codes".
* A SES (service engine soon) LED indicator is embedded in the fuse box.
* An aftermarket signal converter is required to install an electronically-controlled automatic transmission in an older vehicle with a mechanical speedometer.
