Corvette ZR1 Crate Engine: What You Need to Know
By Curated Content Editor

One simply does not drop a 755hp engine into something without knowing all about it.

I might sound like a broken record here. But absolute dream swap is a wicked LS into an Series I or Series II XJ6. I had one with a 350, and it was a great car, just way too much rust to make it practical to fix. At this point, I think it would be cool to do an XJS too — maybe even with a stick? I think the plan would be to find a cherry one and go from there. If you look, they're available, and way more cost efficient that repairing a busted one. Just don't tell the owner you're going to rip out the Jag mill, ha ha!

This car is basically what I'm thinking, except a four-door. So tough...

Give me this with 3 pedals, 6 speeds, and a PD blower with at least 5.7L of LS power and I'll be a happy man!!! I'm not sure why but thats my dream build. Since I know I'll never get a CTS-V 2 with a manual
