Default Conversion??

I know this might sound a bit of the wall, but...... I wonder how the SC Caddy Motor(469HP) would run in a Vette with the Paddle Shift.

Could be a nice option

It is DOHC. It will not fit due to width and height. The XLR has wider frame rails to accomodate the Northstar DOHC engine.

You will see a supercharged Caddy motor in the Blue Deveil when it arrives, IMO.

No way, although an interesting perdiction.

Stick with the LS2 engine and modify it, there is plenty of potential. Resale with a caddy engine will be a huge drain on your pocket book.
