Dumb question
Why stop there? For a mere $46K, we can now get a turnkey 9.0L, V12 LS engine:

I know about LSx crate engines, but honestly I think LSx has come to signify the motors in general at this point. OP's car would not be the first car I've seen with that badge.
I don't like the badge in general though.

Verdad Gallardo technically i suppose it could be since its an engine designation by gm no differnt than LQ4 L99 L92 which were active RPO's. Wonder if it shows up in the copo camaro RPO sheet?

Dude, just put whichever badge you like. Who cares what a bunch of strangers on the internet think. Anyone who knows the difference between the small "x" and the capital "X" will probably appreciate how clean your car looks. And those who dont know the difference will probably not care. I agree with anotherWS6, at this point lsx signifies the whole ls engine family. Those who think otherwise are the minority, so it shouldnt matter what you put on your car.
How many fbodies dont have corvette wheels, or how many formulas dont have ws6 hoods, or how many z28s dont have ss spoilers? It would be another story if you put "turbo" on a NA car, or 5.7 on a 5.3 engine, but something so general like lsx shouldnt matter. Just dont try and convince people you have an actual LSX in there and youre good.

On that note, maybe I could put a twin turbo badge on my '71 since it has a "Turbo-Fire" 350ci and Turbo 350 trans? It's technically not wrong. LOL.
Apparently the OP does:
If he didn't care, then I'm sure he wouldn't have asked in the first place.
It's not really that general though, since that badge uses a specific style that signifies a specific engine which is not in the car. You're right, if the OP doesn't care then it doesn't matter, it's his car. But it sounds like he does care, so we were simply offering the requested opinions.

And obviously he cares. Im just saying he shouldnt care that much because nobody outside this forum will care or even notice. But again if he wants to spend even more money so that people online dont get mad, then thats his choice too.

Well lets just agree to disagree.I think it is very general. There are hundreds of marketing items that use lsx to denote the ls series engine. They probably have no idea about the actual crate engines which almost nobody has heard about.
