Default What Can I put a ls6 engine and tranny in?

Well guys, I received an infraction from LS1Tech for trying to sell since I am a fairly new member and cannot post anything for sale yet, but I will have things on Ebay over the next month rather then through here.

However, since my car is totaled, is there anything I can put my LS6 engine and transmission in that would be pretty sweet? I am looking at 68 camaro for about 5500 with a blown engine that I think will work. But any other ideas out there?

Most RWD import platforms offer swap kits at this point.

Popular would be:
Mazda FC and FD RX7s
Nissan 240sx
Nissan 350Z
Nissan 300ZX
280Zs
Honda S2000s

And they offer lesser weight with the power of the LS6 can make a VERY good combination.

Hinson Super cars
Sikky

THose two sites will offer a LOT of info.
