No, the term LS swap the world exists for a reason. It's throwing a gas engine in a electro car to **** off the purists. It's pulling up to a light and shaking the earth with an American V8 in something that should be dead quiet. To the real American hotrodder it simply says,"yes, yes I would".
As for speed? I'm willing to bet deleting all the heavy *** parts in favor of a aluminum LS and the right trans might actually cut weight and making a LS faster than the tesla? Should not be a problem since there are plenty of the running 9s NA, not to mention power adders.

It would take more than the engine and trany to be faster than it is now. Your going to lose a lot of weight when removing the batteries and the weight is a reason it 60fts like it does. Plus the massive amount of TQ the electric motor produces. That's where the ET is at with this car. Lose the weight, lose the traction ability, and now your doing suspension work to get that back.
I do like your definition of the swap though. I am that person. I like to do it because you said I shouldn't or cant, but I bet I can and will.
