The L8T is offered under the hood of the Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD, and the crate version brings the power of those popular trucks to your project vehicle. The L8T crate engine checks in at 6.6L, making it the largest-displacement power plant in the Chevrolet LT engine family. It features plenty of torque in the low-rpm range and utilizes many high-strength parts to provide heavy-duty performance.
The L8T crate engine was part of the Chevrolet Performance display at the 2022 PRI Trade Show, where our video team captured the stout power plant from all angles.
