some dude put a ls1 in a salvage viper and was even able to reuse the stock viper t56

i was going to swap in lsx in a 95 metallic silver non turbo supra.
i got the car for 1k$ with blown head gasket and bent valves.
but i rebuilt it and sold it for cheep, now that i think about it.
i shouldve kept it

This is my 1987 Mercedes 560SEC, getting the LS6 in the back of the garage. In the front of the garage is the plastic LSx motor, with the GTO front sump oil pan attached. The empty 700R4 housing that is used on the plastic engine is in the back of the garage. An upgraded (very heavy duty) 4L60E is back there somewhere.

^ I think he meant it as a figure of speech, like "coolest looking **** ever". Only true thugs can say "tight" and not be gay

I've seen a Diablo with an LT1. It was a Katrina car and the engine was too expensive to replace.

I saw a build up of an old Ferrari 348 that was getting an lsx about a year ago...Caused a ruckus on whatever forum it was on, people said it would just degrade the Ferrari and people offered the shop owner money to buy the Ferrari with no engine. He said no of course, anyone know anything about it?

A Grand National 3.8 turbo motor fit in a Metro and ran 9's....So I'd say yes, or quite possibly.
