Would you guys ever swap out the LS1 ws6 TA front for an LT1 front?

You couldn't pay me to swap my TA front end to an LT1 style. Just look at my sig!

Maybe on the Camaros... but no way on the TAs.

On a trans am, no way. I think the LS trans ams look wayyy better than the LT1s. They just look more muscular and meaner to me.
I think RaggedRides is pretty right... Catfish just don't look that intimidating. So as for the Camaro front end, I think the LT1 style looks wayyy better than the LS1s. Then again, I may be slightly biased. But I think I'd learn to love a catfish before I went through the work of swapping the front ends

I think the LT formula's look better but I don't like the hood scoops on the LT's, for for the transam's it would be LS. I think the Camaro's both look good but I would much rather have the LS, more bad *** looking to me. Although the white with orange stripe 96-97 SS

See I like the lt front ends.

I'd NEVER trade either, but agreed! Also, I'd never do a front end swap unless I had to.

I wouldn't swap body panels but I knew a guy who swapped engines. He had a Hugger Orange LT1 SS With black stripes and swapped in an LS1 and I thought it was the best looking 4th gen I've ever seen.

That's totally different, and I'd do that in a heartbeat. As much as I liked the lt1 cars, I wouldn't lose sleep swapping to the lsx platform.
