Classic appearance meets modern performance. The Retro LS Series was created for enthusiasts who love the timeless look and character of a traditional V8 but want the reliability, technology, and performance potential of the legendary LS platform.

Built around the 4.8L, 5.3L, and 6.0L, platforms each Retro LS combination blends modern engineering with vintage styling through carefully selected components, carbureted or throttle body EFI induction options, and the attention to detail expected from Reid’s Speed Shop.
