Western Sydney LS1 V8 specialist, Russo Performance, offer a drive-in drive-out 383ci stroker package for all 5.7-litre Gen 3 Chevrolet engines. This includes those fitted to a range of factory Holden Commodore models from 1999 up to 2005.
Russo Performance Gen 3/LS1 383 stroker package – information on kit:
The 5.7-litre Gen 3 engine replaced the outgoing cast-iron Aussie 5.0-litre V8 back in 1999 (VT II), and has since proven to be a modifier’s delight when it comes to extracting more power.
The Russo Performance 383 stroker package breathes new life into the LS1 V8, replacing the crank, pistons, bearings, oil pump, head gaskets, and camshaft with performance items (all parts listed below).
This is a package that will not only freshen up the engine, but it will provide a significant improvement in engine performance.
The package is stated as a ‘drive-in drive-out’ setup. Contact Russo Performance for a more accurate estimated job completion time.
