There is just something right about a Chevrolet Corvette with a 7.0-liter V-8 engine. Whether it's a big-block car from the Sixties or a C6 Z06, the large-displacement engines have always brought a special character to America’s sports car. Thanks to the folks over at Lingenfelter Performance Engineering, C8 Corvette customers can now experience a 7.0-liter variant of the LT2 V-8 engine.
That makes this the most powerful naturally aspirated V-8 that you can stick in a C8 at the moment, and it does so on 91-octane fuel.To make that sort of power, the stock 6.2-liter engine block is torn down and blueprinted before sleeves are installed to accommodate 4.125 Mahle pistons. The entire rotating assembly is also replaced with custom units co-developed with Callies, centered around a 4.00-stroke crankshaft with bespoke counterweighting.
