These next few blogs will be a part-by-part account of the entire project from start to finish. The project was exciting, time consuming, but in the end, totally worth it. I’ve always wanted a V8 engine, but rather than spending over $7000 for one, I figured I’d 3D print one. The sound is raw and distinct, as the pistons fire at offset intervals, which rattles the block a lot more. Traditional small-block V8’s have a certain sonic characteristic to them that sounds guttural and off-balance. the camshaft is a more aggressive 0.551″ lift, and the overall displacement is over 6.1L. The LS3 is an updated version of the LS2 casting, but with bigger bores and a 10.7:1 compression ratio. It was used in the Corvette for 5 years (from 2008 to 2013) and in the Camaro SS for another 5 years (from 2010 to 2015). GM’s LS3 Engine is part of the company’s vast family of small-block V8’s.
