i forgot to check on this earlier.

i havent found much info on it at all. i have found out that the stock v8 in the GS holds up pretty well anyway. i may just end up boosting that with decent sized turbos and be done with it. but i cant say i have any complaints with the motor in stock form.

it would def. be easier to work with the toyota v8 that is in there. they are pretty stout motors as well. a lsx gs would be pretty cool and unique for sure thoough
