LS3 E-Rod 430hp w/ 4L65E Transmission

With Chevrolet Performance’s E-ROD high-performance crate engine systems, you’ll build your project with 50-state street-legal power!

E-ROD crate engine systems have been granted official California Air Resources Board (CARB) E.O. numbers, making them street legal for installation in millions of 1995-and-earlier vehicles in all 50 states. That means you can build the car or truck of your dreams, with the assurance that the engine and supporting components have been granted an official CARB E.O. number. No other manufacturer offers similar systems. The E-ROD lineup includes the LS3 6.2L, LSA supercharged 6.2L, LT1 6.2L and LT4 supercharged 6.2L. Each crate engine system includes emissions equipment and more, and each is available as a Connect & Cruise combination that matches it with a complementing transmission, including Chevrolet Performance’s latest 6L80-E and 8L90-E automatic transmissions.

Each E-ROD crate engine system carries an official California Air Resources Board (CARB) E.O. number and includes complete emissions equipment, along with the engine controller and harness needed to get the engine running. The primary elements of each kit include:

• Chevrolet Performance crate engine
• Engine control module
• Exhaust manifolds
• Catalytic converters
• Mass airflow sensor and sensor boss
• Oxygen sensors and sensor bosses
• Air filter
• Accelerator pedal
• Evaporative emissions canister
• Instruction manual

To facilitate a complete E-ROD installation, the builder will need to source additional components to complete the assembly and get the vehicle running, including:
• Fuel tank
• Fuel lines (returnless)
• Fuel pump—58 psi (400 kPa) for LC9 and LS3 or 65 psi (450 kPa) for LSA, LS9, LT1 and LT4
• Fuel tank vent line from the tank to the evaporative emissions canister
• Purge line from the canister to the engine purge solenoid
• Air induction system that incorporates the mass airflow sensor
• Exhaust system behind the catalytic converters

All E-ROD engines require a front-end accessory drive system suitable to the vehicle. The instruction manual included with each kit offers recommendations for the accessory drive kit, as well as the transmission, gear ratios and more. Chevrolet offers several configurations of accessory drive systems to suit different applications, and each allows the installer to easily delete air conditioning.
