LS9 Crate Engine (19244099) Specifications

Specifications Part Number 19244108

Thank you for choosing Chevrolet Performance as your high performance source. Chevrolet Performance is committed to providing 

proven, innovative performance technology that is truly.... more than just power. Chevrolet Performance parts are engineered, 

developed and tested to exceed your expectations for fit and function. Please refer to our catalog for the Chevrolet Performance 

Authorized Center nearest you or visit our website at www.chevroletperformance.com.
This publication provides general information on components and procedures which may be useful when installing or servicing 

an LS9 Crate engine. 

Please read this entire publication before starting work.

This LS9 Crate engine is assembled using brand new, premium quality components. Due to the wide range of engine applications, 

if you are retrofitting a previous application, you may encounter installation differences between the LS9 crate engine assembly 

and the previous engine. These differences may require modifications or additional components not included with the LS9 engine, 

including cooling, fuel, electrical, and exhaust systems. Some fabrication work may be required.

It is not the intent of these specifications to replace the comprehensive and detailed service practices explained in the GM service 

manuals. Reference a service manual for a 2010 - 2013 Chevrolet Corvette (LS9) for any additional information not included in this 

specification.

For information about warranty coverage, please contact your local Chevrolet Performance dealer. 
Observe all safety precautions and warnings in the service manuals when installing this LS9 crate engine in any vehicle. Wear eye 

protection and appropriate protective clothing. When working under or around the vehicle support it securely with jackstands. Use 

only the proper tools. Exercise extreme caution when working with flammable, corrosive, and hazardous liquids and materials. Some 

procedures require special equipment and skills. If you do not have the appropriate training, expertise, and tools to perform any part 

of this conversion safely, this work should be done by a professional.

Legal and Emissions Information

This publication is intended to provide information about the LS9 crate engine and related components. This manual also 

describes procedures and modifications that may be useful during the installation of an LS9 crate engine. It is not intended 

to replace the comprehensive service manuals and parts catalogs which cover General Motors engines and components. 

Rather, it is designed to provide supplemental information in areas of interest to “do-it-yourself” enthusiasts and mechanics.

This publication pertains to engines and vehicles which are used off the public highways except where specifically noted 

otherwise. Federal law restricts the removal of any part of a federally required emission control system on motor vehicles. 

Further, many states have enacted laws which prohibit tampering with or modifying any required emission or noise control 

system. Vehicles which are not operated on public highways are generally exempt from most regulations, as are some 

special interest and pre-emission vehicles. The reader is strongly urged to check all applicable local and state laws.
Many of the parts described or listed in this manual are merchandised for off-highway application only, and are tagged with 

the “Special Parts Notice” reproduced here:

Special Parts Notice

This part has been specifically designed for Off-Highway application only. Since the installation of this part may either impair 

your vehicle’s emission control performance or be uncertified under current Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, it should not be 

installed in a vehicle used on any street or highway. Additionally, any such application could adversely affect the warranty 

coverage of such an on-street or highway vehicle.

The information contained in this publication is presented without any warranty. All the risk for its use is entirely assumed by the user. 

Specific component design, mechanical procedures, and the qualifications of individual readers are beyond the control of the publisher, 

and therefore the publisher disclaims all liability incurred in connection with the use of the information provided in this publication.
Chevrolet, the Chevrolet Bow Tie Emblem, General Motors, and GM are all registered trademarks of the General Motors Corporation.
