Not intended for marine applications
This configuration is available only with a wet sump oiling system
Engine Break-In Procedure
Use only engine oil that meets dexos1 specifications. For track events or competitive driving, use Mobil 1 15W-50 engine oil. Fill the engine with oil and follow the proper engine priming procedure. Also check and fill as required any other necessary fluids such as coolant, power steering fluid, etc.
Start the engine and listen for any unusual noises. If no unusual noises are noted, run the engine at approximately 1000 RPM until normal operating temperature is reached. The engine should be driven at varying loads and conditions for the first 30 miles or one hour without wide open throttle (WOT) or sustained high RPM accelerations. Run five or six medium throttle (50%) accelerations to about 4000 RPM and back to idle (0% throttle) in gear. Run two or three hard throttle (WOT 100%) accelerations to about 4000 RPM and back to idle (0% throttle) in gear.
Change the engine oil and filter. Inspect the oil and the oil filter for any foreign particles to ensure that the engine is functioning properly. Drive the next 500 miles (12 to 15 engine hours) under normal conditions. Do not run the engine at its maximum rated engine speed. Also, do not expose the engine to extended periods of high load. Change the oil and filter again, inspect the oil and oil filter for any foreign particles to ensure that the engine is functioning properly.

Chevrolet Performance engineers wasted no time digging into the new LT engine family to mine more power – and they've delivered it in the LT376/535. This crate engine is architecturally similar to the LT1 and LS family of small-block engines, but with a unique block casting, cylinder head design, oiling system, and more. It retains the advanced technologies of the LT1, such as direct injection, which enables more precise fuel delivery control and higher compression (11.5:1!) that turns into huge horsepower.

This engine was designed for use in race vehicles and builds on the LT family's technologies and takes them to the next level, leveraging CNC-ported heads and the high-lift LT1 Hot Cam bringing 535 naturally aspirated horsepower. Oh and this engine loves to rev as well easily towards 6,800 rpm.

This crate engine from Chevrolet is just another example of Chevrolet utilizing their racing knowledge and putting it right into their products for the public. This crate engine kit includes the engine assembly with a production intake manifold, throttle body assembly, ignition coils, water pump, balancer and much more.

There are also all-new transmission installation kits specially designed to match the new LT376/535 and its 8-bolt crankshaft flange with Chevrolet Performance's 4L75-series four-speed automatic transmissions and the T-56 Super Magnum six-speed manual.
