someone should do a prius.

 

Based on my limited experience...anything with more than two wheels can succsefully mount an LS motor.

 

I wanna put a 6.0 and 4l80e in my dakota r/t

 

i think there is research going on to put them in 2 wheeled vehicles now

and god damn mrtroyboy!! that is some serious blingage! that car better have a clear engine cover!

 

I'm not sure that I'd limit it that much.

I know I've seen SBC powered motorcycles, LS1 powered ones would be even better (because they'd be around 100 lbs lighter).

Boats don't have wheels, but there are LS1 powered boats.

I can't think of too many cars that wouldn't be better for LSx power.
1.) BMW Isetta. Just too ugly to bother with (IMO)
2.) 30's era V16 Caddy, Cord or Duesenberg. Maybe 2 LSx's would suffice.
3.) Fully restored original Hemi Cuda (worth too much these days). But a non Hemi 'Cuda would be fair game.
4.) '86 Ford F250 supercab 4x4. Why waste a good LSx motor on a lousy Ford?
5.) Any demolition derby car. Why risk breaking such a great motor?

Quite honestly, there aren't too many things that can't be improved with LSx power. But realistically, there are things that would be a shame to put the motor into (a waste of a perfectly good motor that could be used for some higher purpose).

"a waste of a perfectly good motor that could be used for some higher purpose"

LOOOOOOOL don't know why but i laughed when i read that !

 

Just finished my LS2 Volvo 940. Stock LH6/4L60. On my 4th set of rear tires...really.

Can't stop smiling. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II7PmaKv_XU

 

Already been done in a production motorcycle....you can pick one up for about $50K.

I'm getting ready to swap in a dry sump'd 383 stroker built off of a stock LS1 bottom end into a 2000 Toyota Tacoma street truck/rock-crawler.

 

NOTHING is safe

has anyone said the smart? Thats basically borderline insanity. or a new mini?

 

The Smart is not a car, it's a coffin on wheels. Would be funny though!

 

I think there are quite a few of the smart cars with gsxr croth rocket motors in them. An lsx engine would be insane.

Ok 14K smart car and a 1.5K gsxr motor. I think the tires needed for a lsx smart car would be wider than the car.

 

Here is a Mini Cooper.

i think drop'n on in a prius just to **** off the tree hugg'n hippies would be awsome. and the fiero is badass and that is a beautiful motor

 

Just finishing up a Porsche 914 LS1 conversion. Hope to be on the road soon.

well I'm doing a 79 F100 2wd shortbed, 5.3 with a hotcam and a T56 as we speak. but I'm doing mine as gas saver

 

i never heard of an enzo, lambos, mclarens, new porsches vipers just to name a few. getting the lsx.

 

there are roumors here that some one will be putting an ls1 in a older style lambo ( '99) . still not verified but would sure be cool!

 

Someone should try a prius and aim for meeting/beating their MPG. Possible? Cylinder deactivation and all?
