I'm a strong supporter of putting an ls into anything but in some cases (such as this) the motor deserves a better home. And the rims are horrible.

I like the 5th gen... Looks like those dub city motors die cast cars

I'm speechless. All that money under the hood plus the restoration and all I can think about is if he has the Futura tires to match those Pep Boys rims.

So you could say for the LS1 bowties built by Ford guys, LS1 is very similar to a 351 ford motor and was designed by a ford racing engineer, for rejected the motor due to spending a lot of money on the modular motors and so GM bouht the design off the guy instead so, we have a Fordulet as well.

Tbird is um well not that cool to have the LS9 in it, I mean they could have put it in a mustang fastback or something. The 5ht gen looks like donkey nuts, those rims look ridiculous, but then again i don't like anything over 18in rims 19's are pushing it, even then I say it not necessary.
