5.7L V8 Naturally Aspirated LS1 (350hp). Service part 12561706.
Quick reference
F-body LS1 engines require comprehensive accessory and oil pan swaps for Corvette fitment - not plug-and-play
2001+ model year engines have updated camshaft (GM Part 12561725) and LS6 intake; verify ECU compatibility for 1997-2000 receivers
Z06 LS6 engines (2001-2004) share block architecture but are not direct interchange due to sodium-filled exhaust valves and 10.5:1 compression
Context
When sourcing a complete engine assembly for your 2002 Chevrolet Corvette C5, target service part number 12561706 or verify block casting 12558982. This 5.7L Gen III LS1 interchange spans 1997-2004 base model Corvettes and 1998-2002 F-bodies, though Camaro/Firebird cores require swapping the oil pan, windage tray, and intake manifold to fit the Corvette chassis. Inspection points include checking cylinder walls for piston slap wear (common in high-mileage examples) and verifying the valve springs haven't weakened, which causes float above 6,000 RPM. If pulling from a 2001-2004 donor, note these years received the superior LS6 intake manifold (casting 12561184), offering a bolt-on horsepower gain. Avoid Z06 donors—their LS6 engine uses different heads and compression ratios requiring ECU recalibration. Always match the 8th VIN digit "G" for proper LS1 identification.
