I guess I could take the 8BA flathead (239 c.i.) out of my wife's 1930 Model A Ford "rat rod" and put a nice LS2 in it. That probably would be cool, it only weighs about 1700 pounds.

1967 GTO painted in Viper Steel Grey Pearl with black accents riding on custom 18" Intro V-Rod 5 wheels. Powered by a 455ci LSx fed by a set of twins and snorting a 200 wet shot, connected to a built T56, suspended with an entire Z06 suspension, and spitting anything that dares mess with it out through dual Magnaflow bullets. Some nice sport buckets covered in black leather with charcoal suede inserts and 5 point harnesses mounted to a 12 point bar. Hand fabricated sheetmetal dash filled with the new Autometer Nexus Guages.
That's my dream car, that maybe I'll see by the time I'm 50 and can afford to build it.

94 Civic hatch, LS1 with 4 Weber fuel injection throttle bodies in the back and 4 turbos (one blowing into each carb but all linked by custom exhaust manifolds that meet at the front or rear of the engine, whichever end faces the rear)

As for the color, I like darker and more custom type colors like the Viper Steel Grey or HOK Kandy(s) and I think the Nexus gauges just add to the whole Pro-Touring/G-Machine theme.

I think that Miata conversion is my favorite... great looking light roadster with an AWESOME power to weight ratio.
Hope he can get headers in there without destroying the shock towers.

i have 2 dream setups. the first is a 57 bel air with a morrison frame. teh engine bay will have a built 502 which will probably be able to be based off the LS series by that time. this will have air forced in it by a nice all stainless polished twin 60 setup or bigger. each turbo will have its own FMIC and will meet at the custom twin blade TB. it will be slammed, coil overs on all four corners, baer big brakes, x-pipe, borla xr1's, ford 9", and about 1500rwhp.
the second is an ls1/2/6, or most likely 7 s2000. it will have an 8 point cage, will be widened 6 inches, will be mini tubbed. it will feature a built t56 or equivalent, 8.5 inch 10 bolt, single turbo on that ls series motor, and about 12 inch wide rubber out back and about 9.5-10 in front. she'll be my daily or my silver state car. the bel air will come out only on nice days to overkill all who even think of trying.

422ci LS1 twin turbo Ultima with G60 transaxle, big brakes, uber sticky tires, carbon fiber everything, that can run low 9's and handle like a ****. Basically your own bad *** Audi R8 (race car).
I really like my LS1/FD setup now... but getting pretty used to the power. After finishing up the interior/electrical bugs and getting it painted, the winter of 2005 could mean some more power upgrades. Big time power upgrades.

I would love to have the general lee with a twin turbo viper v10 and a t56 
or a 67 camaro (bace v6 model to sneek up on people) with a Lingenfelter 427 twin turbo LSX and a t56.
of corse everything on the two cars would be as bad *** as the drive train, just havnt planed everything out yet.

427 LS1 mated to a 6 speed in an '00 M Coupe. Leave it completely stock looking. Have A/C, power steering, the whole deal. Should make for a quick ride. Maybe widen the rear wheels for some fatter tires
