Joe Maylish, MAHLE Motorsport sales and program manager, says, “The LS engine is so popular that on any given day someone could be rebuilding an LS7 or modifying an LS1. Finally, we have a piston kit that gives builders the option to get the job done quickly and with a brand they trust. Having this in a shelf stock is a game changer especially when you are busy with multiple LS engine jobs.”
