LSA...meaning?
Hi, all. At the risk of sounding stupid yet again, I need to ask what do the initials LSA for the ZL1 engine mean? Thank you.

The LSA is a designation code(RPO - Regular Production Oder) used by GM for their engines. It is a LS based motor that began use in 1997 and has several codes ranging from LS1, LS3, LS4, LS6, LS7, LS9, etc.
Here's a link to their other codes: http://www.348-409.com/rpo1.html

I think the L is for longitudinal, T would be transverse as in engine mounting orientation.

The L means engine. All engine RPOs start with an L, all trans RPOs start with an M.
After the L it's just whatever letters the letter picker chooses. Sometimes the other letters relate a bit to other engines of the same family. |

Apparently, there are 107 possibilities for what LSA means. Funny enough, none of them have anything to do with GM.
