The crankshaft was a forged steel unit running in five main bearings, while the connecting rods were forged steel. With 11.0:1 compression, the L78 396 produced 375 hp at 5,600 RPM and 415 lb-ft at 3,600 RPM. The engine's massive torque and brutal power delivery made it the heart of legendary muscle cars like the Chevelle SS and Camaro SS. This engine represented the absolute peak of American muscle car performance before emissions regulations changed everything.

The high-performance small-block that powered the legendary 1970 Corvette and Camaro Z28. This 5,735cc (350ci) overhead-valve V8 featured solid lifters and high-flow cylinder heads with 2.02/1.60 valves. The engine employed a single Holley four-barrel carburetor with mechanical secondaries, while ignition used a Delco-Remy distributor with special advance curve. The crankshaft was a forged steel unit with cross-drilled mains, while the connecting rods were forged steel. With 11.0:1 compression, it produced 370 hp at 6,000 RPM and 380 lb-ft at 4,000 RPM. The engine's high-RPM capability and race-bred technology made it one of the most desirable American performance engines of all time. This engine represented the ultimate development of the original small-block architecture before emissions regulations forced power reductions.

The exotic twin-cam engine developed with Cosworth that demonstrated Chevrolet's technical capabilities. This 1,994cc dual overhead camshaft inline-four featured an aluminum block with cast iron liners and 16 valves. The valvetrain used gear-driven dual overhead cams operating sixteen valves via bucket followers. The engine employed Bosch L-Jetronic fuel injection with individual runners, while ignition used a breakerless electronic system.

The engine's sophisticated design and exotic nature were completely unlike anything Chevrolet had previously built. Though commercially unsuccessful, this engine demonstrated that Chevrolet could build world-class engineering when they chose to.

The revolutionary LS1 that reinvented the small-block V8 for the modern era. This 5,665cc (346ci) overhead-valve V8 featured an all-aluminum construction with cathedral-port cylinder heads and a single camshaft in the block. The engine employed sequential port fuel injection with 24x reluctor wheel, while ignition used individual coil-on-plug units. The crankshaft was a nodular iron unit running in six main bearings, while the connecting rods were powdered metal. With 10.1:1 compression, it produced 345 hp at 5,600 RPM and 350 lb-ft at 4,400 RPM. The engine's lightweight construction (460 pounds) and advanced technology made it competitive with the best European V8s. This engine architecture would spawn dozens of variants and become the foundation for GM's V8 strategy for two decades.

The race-bred small-block that powered the ultimate C6 Corvette Z06. This 7,011cc (427ci) overhead-valve V8 featured an all-aluminum construction with rectangular-port cylinder heads and titanium intake valves.
