The other small blocks made by shove-or-leave-it (chevy)
Gen 1 1955-1987
Gen 2 1988-1997
Small blocks designed, engineered, and made by GM powertrain, LS engines (not chevy)
Gen 3 1997-2007
Gen 4 2005- present
Again GM marketing capitalizing on the small block name, which is known in any civilized portion of the world. GMs cashing in on the small block name leads many to believe the LS engines are an extension of the chevy designed SBC. It's pretty evident that many on PY assume the same thing as well as listings for many aftermarket vendors erroneously listing the LS family as chevy engines, when in reality they are GM engines.
BTW, the LS series of engines are used in many applications worldwide, many uses have nothing to do with automobiles. Stationary power plants and other industrial uses as well as marine use etc.
