Full engine & parts catalog

Looking for another GM engine, a stock replacement, or supporting parts? Search the catalog by engine code or part number and confirm the application with Big 3.

Know your LT engine code?

Go directly to the relevant engine page. L83 and L84 are 5.3L options; L86 and L87 are 6.2L options. LT1 is also a 6.2L engine—not a 5.3L.

Match the engine to the vehicle—and the job.

A replacement for a daily-driven truck, a customer-engine rebuild and a purpose-built performance engine are different purchases. Share your year, make, model, VIN, engine code and intended use so we can help identify the appropriate option.

Confirm the exact assembly, any parts you will reuse, warranty coverage, shipping or pickup arrangement and applicable core requirements before ordering. A matching displacement does not by itself establish interchangeability.
