I know theres a couple guys that have fit LS1`s into minis, then the civette is awesome.

I would LOVE to do a Buick Reatta. Converted to RWD and everything, but im poor.

A mini would be a little monster with an LS in it. Yeah, being a broke@$$ is my problem too! We can dream though right? haha

Someone needs to do the NSX swap... I know there has been talk about it here and there.

The LS1 WRX is up there and yes... I LOVE the E30 swap.
