Easiest cars would be, any old school RWD GM car
Fox Body Mustang
FC RX7, FD RX7
S13 and S14 240SX

It's pretty cheap to put a LS1 into an FC, I would probably do that. The car is pretty light, handles good, TII rear end is actually not that bad, plus the swap kit is dirt cheap. Everybody and their grandmothers has done the swap though lol.

There is a sticky thread in the top of the conversions and hybrid subforum.

This list may give you some ideas.

Here is a list of many swaps:

And those are just ones I have seen personally in addition to John's list. The Engine will fit in just about anything and do well.

But I think we hijacked his thread

No offense man, but if you don't have the imagination to figure out what kind of car you want to do the swap with, then actually doing the swap is gonna stop you COLD...

I've got to agree with this comment. most people start with a car that they love but would like to put more power in it. not an engine that they love that they need a car for. If it's a RWD car, chances are you can make it fit given enough time, persistance, and money.

Just to be sure that I'm not misunderstood, my intent was not to be rude. I know that it's easy for meanings to be unclear when all you have is something "written" in front of you...

Yeah, that's pretty much the bottom line...
