Computers?-Really sort of bulletproof these days- will even tune the car for you. If you haven't noticed most cars these days are seeing over 200K-and only having to opening the hood to change the oil.

I like the LSx - It's a great motor- You couldn't beat it for reliability & performance-which for older engines that's THE trade off.

Everybody is doing them- so yes- It does make me yawn -Heck, even my daily driver has one.

Let's face it-At every car show/event- when you start talking HP- somebody's brother- cousin- buddy-will always have more HP!


I wanted something unique as well-
Fuel injection w/ individual throttle bodies...wanted coil on plug...all aluminum block and heads....



I thought more cylinders would be cool-

I'd be pretty proud to show this LS motor at any car show. As a matter of fact it has won awards. Hardly a common motor. Looks better than any Gen1 SB. 600 RWHP 427 LS7. If done right I think the LS is a better looking motor than most.

Being able to hide the coil packs and plug wires makes for a very clean looking install.

I like lifting the hood on my L-48 car and having my 400ci small block not raise much attention.

LS engines don't have to show the coil packs. They can be covered or relocated.

Some nice looking LS motors!!!


I hid my coil pack as well-


Has a cover over it- looks like the stock AC

I'm not sure if you were responding to me, but if you were - what I meant to say was "with an LS motor, you can hide the coil packs vs a G1 setup, where you are forced to deal with a distributor and 8 snakes of wires coming out". (I'm aware that you can install a distributorless setup for G1s, but with LSs COP comes for free...)

I was, I see what you were getting at now.
