The L87 engine is a 6.2-liter V8 developed by General Motors as part of its fifth-generation small-block family. Designed primarily for full-size trucks and premium SUVs, it emphasizes torque-rich performance, durability, and smooth power delivery. Built with an aluminum block and heads, the L87 engine balances strength with reduced weight. Advanced technologies such as direct fuel injection and Dynamic Fuel Management allow it to deliver strong output while improving efficiency during light-load driving. Rather than chasing high-rev theatrics, the L87 engine focuses on real-world usability, making it well-suited for towing, hauling, and long-distance cruising.
