The LT1 actually has an excellent history with GM. Hate to disagree, but the LT1 in each iteration was VERY cool...

LT-1
Years: 1970–1972
The LT-1 was the ultimate 350 cu in (5.7 L) V8, becoming available in 1970. It used solid lifters, 11:1 compression, a high-performance camshaft, and a 780 CFM Holley four-barrel carburetor on a special aluminum intake with ramhorn exhaust manifolds and a low-restriction exhaust to produce a factory rated 370 hp (276 kW) (the NHRA rated it at 425 hp for classification purposes) and 380 lb·ft (515 N·m). Redline was 6500 rpm but power fell off significantly past 6200 rpm.

The LT-1 was available on the Corvette and Camaro Z28.

In 1992, GM created a new-generation small-block engine called the "LT1 350", not to be confused with the high-output Generation I LT-1 of the 1970s. It displaced 5.7 L (350 cu in), and was a 2-valve pushrod design. The LT1 used a reverse-flow cooling system which cooled the cylinder heads first, maintaining lower cylinder temperatures and allowing the engine to run at a higher compression than its immediate predecessors.

The C7's all-new LT1 6.2L Small Block V-8 engine develops 455 horsepower (339 kW) and 460 pound-feet (620 N·m) torque, which can accelerate the Corvette from 0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds.
