A Guide to Every C7 Corvette Engine

C7 Corvette Engines – The Full List & Guide

Many consider the Corvette’s seventh generation to be the period in which GM’s iconic sports car finally came of age. It was during this time that the Corvette made some of its most extensive performance gains, upon which the entire racing community was quite keen. At last, the Corvette was poised to take on all competition, both domestic and foreign.

Much of these performance gains can be attributed to the development in engine technology that took place during this era. During the C7’s production run, the Corvette was offered with several available powerplants, all of which proved to be exceedingly potent in their own regard.

The following is a comprehensive guide to Corvette powerplants offered during the C7 era.

LT1 376 CI 6.2L: 2014-2019

GM’s 6.2-liter LT1 served as the C7 Corvette’s base engine since the earliest days of seventh-generation production. The all-aluminum LT1 featured a forged-steel crankshaft, powdered metal I-beam connecting rods, and Hypereutectic Cast Aluminum Alloy pistons. This powerplant operated on a relatively-high 11.5:1 compression ratio.
