LSA swap in F-body

has anyone done this swap yet? auto/manual? I am wondering how much work would be needed to swap into 4th gen F-body.

it'd be very expensive and you could build a better motor for cheaper

True, but reliability and mod potential is a plus on the LSA. Not that you couldn't accomplish the same with say a LS3 and KB. I just thought it would be a cool swap and make it look somewhat factory

The CTS-V style wont fit with significant mods...

The LS9 swap they did into an Fbody on the Power Tour 2 years ago required shorted engine mounts, and I think they put spacers under the cradle to lower it down even more.

The LS9 blower which is a lot smaller then the V blower barely cleared the firewall...
