(Photos by the author) – Breaking news guys, there are LOTS of LS and LT engines here. They are pretty much in everything and while there are now dedicated companies designed to dress them up and make ’em look like different stuff, they’re still kind of cookie cutter when it comes to SEMA. In this selection of photos I wanted to show some interesting cars and engines that I have stumbled across this week. My travels have been limited to this point by other industry commitments but I’ll be really knocking it out both today and Friday. We’ve not yet begun to fight.

Oh, and stick around we’ll have more in-depth looks at most of the stuff you see in this gallery in the coming weeks. That Ohio George funny car is easily the most awesome and bad ass car here at SEMA, bar none.
