The Best Engines of Holley LS Fest East 2024

Holley LS Fest East is one of the most diverse automotive events in the nation. Each year, countless vehicles take part in its car show, autocross, drag racing, drifting, burnout and off-road programs.

While each vehicle must be powered by a GM LS or LT engine, a wide variety of styles are on display.

As always, during this year’s event at Beech Bend Park in Bowling Green, Kentucky, the power plants were as varied as the vehicles.
 
Chevrolet Performance crate engines* ranging from the venerable LS3, to cutting-edge LT options, to the LSX376-B15 built for boost were all prominently featured. Additionally, wide-ranging swaps and high-horsepower, home-built engines were in the mix throughout the weekend. LS mills even powered a boat and an airplane.
 
The BLOCK cameras captured a variety of engine bays during the event. Some of our favorites are featured in the gallery below.
