LS1 is a whole family of motors. Corvettes, yeah. But there are
versions of that motor in SUVs and pickups, Camaros... all over.
There's a 5.3 all-alloy version, called "L33", that they put in
trucks and SUVs. 330hp -- not bad. And because it's a truck motor,
it's cheap and plentiful.
Wikipedia has a good page on what the motors are, and what cars/
trucks had them.
