Even if you aren’t a particular fan of the LS engine, you have to love some of the creative swaps that you see at Holley’s LS Fest in Bowling Green Kentucky. It’s awesome and you’ll be amazed and entertained by some of the creative stuff folks do. One of the things that always amazes me and makes me laugh are the number of cars and trucks and whatever that have an LS stuffed “into” them when in fact they don’t fit. Or the engine fits but none of the stuff the engine needs will fit. That’s the case with this fun little 1972 Datsun 1200 Deluxe owned by Mikie Smith. Check out the video below.
