My dream/fantasy swap would be an LS9 in a 1987 Buick Grand National GNX. Goo-gobs of power in one of the sexiest vehicles EVER produced by the General!

That would be pretty ******* cool if that worked. I can donate my MS3 if anyone is willing to contribute to doing such a swap.

Some Ford guys it pissed off however most of them are pretty accepting..

For me I don't think I've ever seen one of those Plymouth Prowlers with an LS motor. That would be pretty sweet..

I was gonna say x2 on the Cobra replica but it looks like the line is longer than that!

The best part about this thread is that MANY of the listed dream swaps can be found already in this forum!

Not sure if it's listed yet but how 'bout a Noble M12 with boosted lsx? Or one of those t-rex trikes! That's my short list, at least. I'd take most of the swaps I've seen on here.

I'd love to do a Checker Cab with a 6.0 turbo and LS3 heads, T56, and see if I could fab an IRS rear into it, if not a 9". Probably rat it out to start with until I go around to some paint. Weekend street bruiser to take to car shows and blast up and down the highway getting WTF looks everywhere I go.

Daily duty I'd really like to do an E36 M or G35 Coupe with a mild NA LSx, killer power in a chassis with great handling characteristics and some decent luxury to boot.

Besides my Tahoe having LSX/T56 conversions.
I think the new Ford Fiestas with an LS2/T56 would be pretty sick.
