Q
is the ls4 a good engine
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
The LS4 engine, a 5.3L V8 that GM produced from 2005 to 2009, primarily found in front-wheel-drive applications such as the Chevrolet Impala SS, Monte Carlo SS, Pontiac Grand Prix GXP, and the Buick LaCrosse Super, is a unique piece in the LS family. Its design allowed for installation in transverse engine bays, a rarity for V8s. Boasting around 303 horsepower and 323 lb-ft of torque, it provided substantial power for larger sedans and performance vehicles. However, the LS4 has its detractors, citing issues such as the 4T65E-HD transmission's reliability, which struggles with the V8's torque, and peculiarities like a reduced lifter valley to accommodate the transverse installation. While it offers a compelling package for enthusiasts looking for a V8 experience in less traditional applications, it requires awareness of its limitations and potential additional maintenance. Despite these concerns, its relatively easy integration into unique swaps makes it a potential project engine for those looking for something out of the ordinary.
