Continuing the tradition of great small-block V-8 engines, the 5.3L LS engine has been one of the most popular GM has ever built. It's been installed in millions of GM-built pickups, work trucks, vans, and SUVs. But, leave it to the GM Performance Parts engineers to go one step further and upgrade the 5.3L LS. The result is a High Output 5.3 that is just as capable serving as a workhorse-it's just a little bit more fun.

Based on the tough, proven, and dependable 5.3L engine, it's the same long-lived production engine that you'll find in our award winning full-sized truck and SUV line. The stock 5.3 offers a dependable 295 horsepower and 325 lb.-ft. of torque from the 96mm bore by 92mm stroke engine design.

What makes the 5.3 High Output crate engine so special is that the GM engineers have added a GM Performance Parts custom cam and Grafal-coated pistons. With these simple upgrades, the 5.3 HO kicks out 332 horsepower and 352 lb.-ft. of torque. And, just like the stock 5.3, the 5.3 HO is capable of thousands of miles of dependable service while returning outstanding fuel mileage, thanks to the superior design of the LS Family of engines.
