  2. Got a friend that spent the $$$$ to make an LS look retro. His pockets are a lot deeper than mine.
    Running one with a carb seems odd. I’d prefer the injection.
    But I cruise any of these LS engines all day long

    Well 327 is my choice. So here’s my idea. I have a 40 ford deluxe with 62 327 vette motor and 4 speed. Pull that motor and Tranny put in 57. Buy a small block ford and tranny and put in 40.

    Owner has a 69/302 Chevy motor and also a 555 bb sitting there and built 350 turbo and 4 speed. Talkin to him about them Dz302 would be nice but I don’t see him getting rid of it. His dad always bragged about motor. Never fired

    Because you included LS engines in your poll, I had to move this thread to the off topic forum... now you say you don't like them?

    How bad/good is the vette? An OT car like a vette would be easy to drop an engine into. Could even drop one of your neighbors LS engines into the vette and flip it.

    image.jpg Well picked up a 283 with power pack heads. I think I’m putting 461 on it. Got rear end installed. Wow what a feeassko Axle would not go in. Wasn’t aligned in third member.
