On March 10, 1876, Alexander Graham Bell’s first words over a telephone line were, “Mr. Watson, come here. I want to see you.” On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong’s first words from the surface of the moon were, “That’s one small step for man; one giant leap for mankind.” On a future date in the summer of 2014, what will be the first words uttered by Rick White as he cranks over his LS1-powered Prius for the first time? Whatever words are used, they will be remembered as the first words spoken during one of the most significant moments in human history, for Rick White will own the first-ever LS-powered Toyota Prius.

Got some SERIOUS time to burn and a love for LS engine swaps? Then I’ve got a series of videos for you to enjoy. Last week  Motor Trend swapped an LS7 into Hot Rod magazine’s Crusher Camaro.

Typically though you’ll […] More »

The engine has been given a working over as well by Livernois motorsports. Mods include stage 2 heads, […] More »

Here’s something you don’t see everyday, someone crazy enough to dyno their jacked-up truck with 40″ tires! But the catch, even with the big ol’ 40s, this ’78 GMC can smoke plenty of fast cars, bolt-on Camaros, stock Corvettes and of course, plenty of Mustangs. How, you ask? Why, with a boosted LM7 with a […] More »

Well. That didn’t take long at all. The guys at Weapons Grade Performance have officially swapped a LS into the well-regarded Subaru BRZ. They’ve dubbed it: “The BRZ06”.
