I'd love to put a LS1 in my '73 Celica. 2000 lbs and a short wheelbase with a LS1 would be lovely

WOW! That I AWSOME!!! That's the first I have seen that. The 47 doesn't have those little find in the rear so a little more of a sleak look! This older cat in Laramie Wyoming had one and every day when I was going to class(wyotech) I would drive by it!!!

I would like to see a supercharged LQ9 on a 70's VW trike, rear engine of course. Would that be a widowmaker?

Sombody suggested a LS in a Cobra. I agree which is what I am currently doing. 2200 lbs with a LS1...priceless!

LS1 in my FFR Daytona:

Very jealous mmarshall. That is an awesome car. Do you have a build thread anywhere?
Speaking of the devil, I Just saw a FFR Cobra in a parking lot a little while ago. I used to go to there open houses when I lived up there.

95 Mustang Cobra with LSx/T56 swap.
1998 Chevy Silverado 1500 Z71 with LSx/T56 swap.

I've got pretty attainable fantasies.

LSA in a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing. It would probably destroy the value but that would be awesome to cruise around in

or a Maserati 3500 GTI Spyder

There is a cobra replica kit car out there that fits down on a c3 or c4 corvette frame. ends up looking pretty close but the doors are like 4 inches longer.

there is a frame company that builds a c3/c4 tube frame with c5 suspension and I think a transaxle option.

there is a crate engine company that makes a 1600 hp 454 inch LSX twin turbo motor.

Id have to say 1600 is a little much, may have to de-tune it.

Ya, That's got my vote 1k horsepower cobra that handles like a c5 vette.
