GM Performance Parts has announced the introduction of its 638 HP
LS9 crate motor, set to debut at the
SEMA show next week. Yep, the
supercharged, 6.2-liter heart of the
ZR1 can now be ordered without the Corvette wrapper, ready to drop into the bare engine bay of your choice. You get a complete engine including the ignition system, supercharger assembly, exhaust manifolds, dry-sump oil pan and provisions for the intercooler's liquid cooling system — pretty much everything in this gorgeous
exploded LS9 view except the 'Vette engine cover. Pricing isn't mentioned, but considering an LS7 crate engine runs about $14k, figure well north of there. Plus a
home-built Lamborghini to put it in, of course. Full release below the jump.
