When the GM LS1 engine arrived in 1997 in that year's Corvette, it sets new standards for huge ‘out of the box’ power, lightness and great fuel economy for a V8 especially when compared to an iron block engine.

2009 has seen the introduction of the most powerful variant yet, the 638bhp 6.2-litre LS9, a supercharged monster if ever there was one. As an added bonus it also meets the very latest emissions regulations.

With credentials like these, it’s no wonder that builders of Cobra replicas and other similarly-powered specialist cars are finding them so desirable and the likes of Andy Burrows at Gardner Douglas via his LSPower division has been enthusiastically recommending them for years, and all his factory built GDs are thus equipped. Meanwhile, the latest AK I drove last week, with 430bhp LS3 is stunning.

This book shows what modifications are needed to achieve addition performance goals you require and topics include block selection, crankshaft, pistons, cylinders heads, camshafts, fuel system and header selection.

It really is the ultimate resource to build the ultimate LS-series engine.
