Swapping an LSx in to an agricultural irrigation pump would be rather "crazy".

There is a Vortec 8100 powering a pump out east of my town.
No LSxs though.

Default LS7 Lotus Seven Replica
A friend of mine is putting an LS7 in a Lotus Seven replica.
Its a Stalker kit he's modifying. Should be fun 500 plus horsepower,
1600 pounds weight.
My project is a 84 Porsche 944 with a 5.3. I can only spend $2010 on my build.
Regards
Mark

I want a 97 or newer wrecked corvette so i can rip out the engine and rear end and bolt them to each other. Stretch the fiero rear end a little and put on a widebody (acura) NSX body kit and drool at it but i do not have the funds

I would love to get an LSx with a 6-speed auto Corvette trans-axle bolted to it and make a custom Ariel Atom type car.

Original, but not as interesting, swapping a LQ9 into a 86 F150. Keeping the 8.8 and going with a built 4l60e

Well I have this

And this

I've been thinking about it since the Talon's engine is in pieces and needs a head, but I like the AWD talons so I'd kinda hate to cut this one up.

Well I originally bought it for the Firebird which has a 455. But now I have a t56 and EFI for the 455 instead. I might put the LS1 in my 69.
