On November 29, 2011, GM built its 100-millionth small-block engine. The milestone engine was a 638-horsepower supercharged LS9 small block, which powered the 205-mph Corvette ZR1 and was hand-built at GM’s Performance Build Center, northwest of Detroit. It represents the fourth generation of the small block and is the most powerful engine ever built by GM for a regular-production car. GM will preserve the engine as part of its historical collection.
As part of the special event, GM produced the following videos, the first one of which is an interview with David Cole, whose father, the late Ed Cole, was the chief engineer at Chevrolet and oversaw development of the original small block engine.
Enjoy!
