GM PERFORMANCE LT1 / 6 SPEED

When exploring modern power options, the LT1 V8 package offers an impressive upgrade from the traditional Rover V8’s lower horsepower.

This complete crate combo is California compliant and arrives ready to assemble directly from the GM factory, crafted with premium components and backed by a limited 2-year/50,000-mile warranty.
