LS3 Engine for Sale
Chevrolet Performance 525 HP Crate
The most powerful naturally aspirated 6.2L street engine in the Chevrolet Performance lineup — built on the legendary LS3 foundation with a race-proven ASA camshaft. Ready to drop in.
If you've been searching for an LS3 engine for sale that's actually worth buying — not a junkyard pull with 80,000 mystery miles, not a backyard rebuild — you've found it. The Chevrolet Performance LS376/525 is the real thing: a factory-engineered, race-cam equipped, 6.2L powerplant built by the same team that put LS engines in Corvettes and Camaros for decades.
At OMJ Auto Solutions, we carry the Chevrolet Performance LS3 525 HP Long Block Crate Engine (Part #19432629) — the most powerful naturally aspirated 6.2L crate engine in GM's street performance lineup. It pairs the proven LS3 bottom end with the ASA racing camshaft, a component developed for the high-RPM demands of circle-track racing. The result is 525 horsepower and 489 lb-ft of torque that revs hard, pulls strong, and carries the GM factory warranty.
Whether you're swapping into a classic Camaro, building a pro-touring machine, replacing a worn engine in a C6 Corvette, or dropping raw power into a custom build — this is the crate engine the enthusiast community has trusted for over a decade.

6 Reasons the LS3 525 HP
Is the Right Buy
Race-Proven ASA Camshaft
The ASA cam was developed for circle-track racing — aggressive hydraulic roller with 0.525" lift and a tight 110° lobe separation angle that delivers razor-sharp throttle response and exceptional high-RPM breathing. You'll feel it the moment the engine comes alive.
Factory GM Engineering
This isn't a third-party rebuild. It's a genuine Chevrolet Performance product — the same engineering team behind Corvette, Camaro, and the entire LS platform. Every tolerance, every component, every spec meets GM's own standards.
525 HP Naturally Aspirated
No turbos. No supercharger. No nitrous. The LS376/525 makes its power the old-fashioned way — displacement, airflow, and a cam that means business. At 525 HP, it's the most powerful naturally aspirated 6.2L street engine in the Chevrolet Performance lineup.
Aluminum Block & Heads — Lightweight
The all-aluminum construction keeps weight down while managing heat efficiently. The L92-style cylinder heads with 68cc chambers and large 2.165" intake valves flow aggressively — giving the ASA cam the airflow it needs to make power at high RPM.
More Complete Than a Long Block
This "long block" ships with intake manifold, fuel injectors, fuel rail, throttle body, water pump, ignition system, valve covers, timing cover, harmonic balancer, and oil pan already installed. Less work for you. More time building your project.
24-Month / 50,000-Mile Warranty
When installed by a qualified independent service center, this engine carries Chevrolet Performance's full 24-month or 50,000-mile warranty. That's factory confidence — backed by a company that's been building performance engines since 1911.

Builders Who Already Bought It

Frequently Asked Questions
The Chevrolet Performance LS376/525 (part #19432629) produces 525 horsepower at 6,300 RPM and 489 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 RPM. These are factory-verified numbers from Chevrolet Performance's own dyno testing — not estimations.
The key difference is the ASA racing camshaft. The standard LS3 produces 430 HP with a stock cam. The LS376/525 installs the aggressive ASA hydraulic roller cam — 0.525" lift, 226°/236° duration, 110° LSA — which expands the power band at high RPM and delivers 95 additional horsepower over stock, all without changing the displacement or compression ratio.
The LS3 525 HP is compatible with any vehicle using a Gen IV LS engine — including Chevy Camaro (2010–2015), C6 Corvette, classic restomod builds (Camaro, Chevelle, Nova, El Camino), and any custom LS swap application. For older vehicles without electronic throttle control, you'll also need the controller kit PN 19354332.
Despite being called a "long block," this engine ships very complete: intake manifold, fuel injectors, fuel rail, throttle body, water pump, ignition system, valve covers, timing cover, harmonic balancer, and oil pan are all included and assembled. You'll need to source exhaust manifolds, flexplate, front accessory drive, and the engine controller separately.
Yes — 92 octane premium fuel is recommended to protect the 10.7:1 compression ratio and allow the engine to achieve its full 525 HP output. Running lower-octane fuel risks detonation and will reduce power output.
Chevrolet Performance warrants this engine for 24 months or 50,000 miles — whichever comes first — when installed by a qualified independent service center. This is a full GM factory warranty, not a limited third-party coverage policy.
