the gm small-block v8 that became australia's own!
Introduced to Australian Holdens with the LS1 in 1999, the American engine became synonymous with Australians as the epitome of V8 performance - passion for the LS range is as Australian as meat pie. Walkinshaw's motorsport history with Holden and HSV means this engine has a very special place in our catalogue of engine builds as our prized build.
​
