If you could put a "modern" V8, such as a LS small block, into any other vehicle, what V8 would it be and what would it go into?

There are times I still think about doing it to the XJ. I think a LS1 XJ would be bad ass.

50ish Chevy pick up. AC and all.

Local guy did this. I talked to him and he said it made the car very unpredictable. I can understand that....basically he said that he would do the turbo kit and a built engine if he did it all over again.

I have no idea though, I think with the right size and compound tires it would be a blast.

I want to put a LQ (iron block 6.0) in a 60-66 Chevy pick up, and TT it.

I could run lower boost and still see 600 hp and have a freakin blast.

I'd have Flyin Miata do the swap, all the reviews of their conversations say the car is very predictable :d ontknow:

Next project car could be a V8 Exocet. It’d be a whole C5 drive train.

It is TN be could have eye balled the motor mounts and just welded shit in.

That's probable, but given the kits available that make V8s bolt in I'd just go that route if you wanted to do it yourself.
