Fantasy LSx swaps Ok I think this is prolly the best place to post this. If you could an LS based engine into any car/truck what would you do. Money time and skill are no object purely fantasy.
Mine
S10 extreme "syclone" LS7TT with a T56 adapted to a full time t-case to make it all wheel drive
69 camaro LS9 protouring
98-02 F-Body w/ a duramax
71 chevelle lq4 turbo T56 (actually workin on this one)
And
A 99 escort super sleep w/ LS2 w/ a T56
Please post yours up interested in what some other people think.

1. 69 camaro with a pro charged ls2 or ls3. Pro touring style.
2. 98 up s-10 would be cool.
3. 67 chevy step side with a LM7 or LQ4 street truck.
4. A mallet Saturn sky LS2.
And for another drag car I would love to pick up an old pinto and put a mild ls1 in it. And leave it looking junky. But fast.

This was one I had to sleep on. I was thinking about the Viper and the Skyline has been done.
1. Shelby Cobra
2. Ferrari Enzo
3. Buggati Veyron
4. 1966 Jaguar E-Type
5. Plymouth Superbird
As for that Prius, that would have to be all out over the top, 572 BBC. There is a ricer car show on Wed. nights here, and I managed to convince one of them my buddy had a Prius with a 572 and a Cadillac FWD transmission in the back of the Prius.

Id like to build a twin turbo LS3 powered sprint car. moderate budget, something in the 1000hp range in a 1500 lb chassis. Shouldnt have any trouble taking out the arial atom. Street legal of course, which has been done plenty. This is actually high on my list of a realistic build as soon as I buy a house. Like everything else these days, mass production of chassis has dropped the price on a roller substantially ( you can even get a chinese built thing...) it would be hard to build something that would out run that 0-180ish. Thinking that chassis but instead of a live rear, going with a 'vette IRS set up. summer ground pounder, drag strip terror!
