The LS is Generation III and Generation IV, the latest evolution of General Motors' line of small-block V8 engines. The LS series is an evolution of the LT family but is all-aluminum and has 6-bolt mains. The LS engine has been the sole powerplant of the Chevrolet Corvette, and has also been used in the Pontiac GTO, the Cadillac CTS V-series, the Holden Commodore and Monaro since 1999 and the late Camaro/Firebird V8 models. General Motors Corporation (NYSE: GM), also known as GM, is a United States-based automobile maker with worldwide operations and brands including Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Holden, Hummer, Opel, Pontiac, Saturn, Saab and Vauxhall. ...

Generation III
The Generation III small-blocks replaced the LT family in 1997. These shared the same rough displacement and bore spacing (4.4 in) as their cast iron predecessors but almost everything else was changed. The bore was reduced to 3.9 in and the stroke longer at 3.62 in for greater torque. The block was cast from aluminum (for cars) instead of iron and had a new intake and injection technology and coil-on-plug ignition. The traditional five-bolt pentagonal cylinder head pattern was replaced with a square four-bolt design, and the pistons are flat instead of domed. Even the cylinder firing order was changed. 1997 (MCMXCVII) is a common year starting on Wednesday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
LS1 The LS1 was an evolution of the earlier LT small-block V8 but shares little other than similar displacement and external dimensions. It is an all-aluminum 5.7 liter (5665 cc) pushrod engine and produces between 305 and 350 hp (228 to 261 kW) and 375 ft·lbf (508 N·m) of torque, depending on the application. Beginning in 2001, the LS1 received the higher-flowing intake from the LS6, and a smaller camshaft to keep power at the same level; this also allowed GM to remove the EGR system. The block is very similar to that of the higher-output LS6; beginning in 2002, some LS1 engines were actually built using the LS6 block instead. The LS1 was on the Ward's 10 Best Engines list for 1998.

LS6 - LS6 can also refer to a 454 in³ Chevrolet Big-Block engine of the 1970s
The LS6 is a higher-output version of Chevrolet's small-block LS1 engine. It is an all-aluminum 5.7 liter (5665 cc) pushrod engine. The initial 2001 LS6 produced 385 hp (287 kW) and 385 ft·lbf (522 N·m), but the engine was modified for 2002 through 2004 to produce 405 hp (302 kW) and 400 ft·lbf (542 N·m) of torque. The LS6 was originally only used in the high-performance C5 Corvette Z06 model, with the Cadillac CTS V-Series getting the 405 hp engine later. Holden Special Vehicles also used the LS6 for its GTS models. For 2006, the Z06 replaced the LS6 with the new 7.0L LS7.

Generation IV Hot on the heels of the Generation III was Generation IV. These big-bore engines are some of the largest small-blocks yet, and will quickly replace the previous generation. Displacement ranges up to 7.0 L and output to 505 hp (373 kW). Generation IV will later feature displacement on demand, a technology that allows one bank of cylinders to be deactivated. It will also offer variable cam phasing and 3-valve per cylinder designs, a novelty in a pushrod engine.

LS7 The LS7 is the latest high-power LS engine. It is a 7.0 L (427.6 ci) unit, based loosely on the LS2. The block is changed, with a larger 4.13 in (104.9 mm) bore and longer 4.00 in (101.6 mm) stroke than the LS2. The small-block's 4.4 in (111.8 mm) bore spacing is retained, requiring pressed-in cylinder liners. The crankshaft, and main bearing caps are forged steel for durability, the connecting rods are titanium, however cast pistons were retained to avoid the piston slap issues that forged pistons have on startup. The two-valve arrangement is retained, though the titanium intake valves have grown to 2.20 in (55.9 mm) and sodium-filled exhaust valves are up to 1.61 in (40.9 mm). Peak output is 505 hp (377 kW) at 6300 rpm and 470 ft·lbf (637 N·m) at 4800 rpm with a 7000 rpm redline.
