    Have another classic coming home in two weeks. It was a buddy of mine that passed. I get to finish it. No motor or tranny at the moment.

    I’m sure the LS swap will be an overwhelming choice here ;)

    For that car I'd rate an LS swap right behind a Vega 4 cyl. ;) Heck yes a 327!

    wow....I sitting here with this heavy on my mind, and has been for awhile.... I've got a pretty good collection of cars, and my days are numbered... most every car I go look at , or even call about...the guy died and left the burden of gettting rid of the cars to the ol lady.. most have no idea what the cars are worth, as most guys keep that part a secret... so the cars go cheep... and if you try to sell something, the guys that call are most all over 70... the younger crowd, don't seem to have much interest as a whole.... but whats really amazing, if thats the word.... sitting here with 20 plus cars... I still find my self looking at cars for sell... and all with the same mental thought... I look at the pics... and read the add....."THIS GUYS FUC'N NUTS" IS THE FIRST THOUGHT!!!

    so my wife comes up behind me while looking at cars for sell... she says... why you looking at cars for sell..???? why can't you look at tits like a normal guy...

    but any way... LS if you wanna sell down the road as it is a very popular swap... we always have at least on in the shop...most the crowd as a whole don't even like cars with a carb.. and 327 has no value...

    I dong a 58 with the vete 327 4 speed.... My shifting days are coming to an end... so when the cars done , probley won't be able to drive it.... so LS/ over drive is a heavy thought.. as for the GOB's here ,... they don't like me anyways so who cares...

    LS engines are totally off topic here, I can't believe you even included that in your poll

    I think (and hope) it was tongue-in-cheek.

    It actually says "Ls swap" and I think that is a good thing to do. If I had an LS engine I would swap it for a 327 quicker than shit off a shovel......:D
     
  11. Seems like only one choice to me. Sorry to hear about your friend, but glad you got the 57.

  20. You have been a member of the hamb long enough to know better than to propose a LS swap. HRP
     
  21. So we all know it needs the 327...and, because there is no trans either, let me be the first to say and a 4 speed stick!

    The last time I mentioned LS I think @Moriarity deleted my post. The three who voted for it should be found and punished.

    As chicken mentioned, I’m sure the OP was just “chain yanking”.
