What is your fantasy swap? Oh yeah It cant be an LSX

I know you said no LSX...

I used to have a clean, white '98 Metro as a daily driver. I wish I still had it...

Tube chassis, black tinted windows, then find a wrecked C5 Z06 and stick the powertrain in the Metro with the quietest exhaust I could find.


To satisfy the non LSX part of your thread, same deal except sub the Z06 underpinnings with that of an Eclipse GSX or EVO.

Before I wanted a WS6, I planned to put an LS1 or LS2 in a '70 Nova SS with the T56.

The only reason I said not LSx is because thats too easy. It would be cool to put an LSx into anything, but there are other really cool motors out there.

No LSX? 2nd choice is the a Motown Lite 427ci aluminum SBC. In anything and everything.

If posted a thread with the title "Hookers and blow", how many people's first thought would be that I was talking about headers and superchargers?

Nope, this is it. He just said 2jz and that is the magic word for a flame war in here lately.
We get people from all the supra boards trying to bash lsx motors, kinda lame.
