is there any car safe from the LSx?

I've seen all type/kind of cars with LSX swaps. But I guess I'm missing some of them.

I would like to see some of the crazyest, dumbest, best, worst, etc, swaps, even Mustangs and Camaros.

A pic or a link.

And show the world the LSX DOMINATION

Seems not a good idea. Please don't try it again. We all love LSX, but that's too much: http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/loc...,7365621.story

By the way, love the valve covers on that hupmobile, but the fake carb looks rather dumb.

I agree the carb and oil bath air cleaner may be a little much, but they complete the old Hemi look. Most of the time for display, he has the hood open just enough to give a look at the engine without a close detailed look. It amazing how many people don't figure out it is a modern EFI motor, even car guys!

Mine has that uncovered "industrial" look to it..........function only here! At some car shows I will open one side of the hood and 90% of the spectators think the engine is from a helicopter.

Although it would suck in a little bit it really does not suck closed as much as you would think and has surprisingly little effect on your 1/4 mile times......guess how I know. I was running dryer tubing for a while and I noticed that if I blipped the throttle in neutral it would start to suck together...but when I changed it out I didn`t notice any performance improvement.
