Ok, I’ll be honest: I don’t get the LS hate. I don’t. I kind of understand the desire to keep the engine and car make together, but honestly, how can you hate an engine that can take a hell of a lot of boost, nitrous, and can be located in yards and Craigslist listings all day long? I’m sure I’ll get the answers in the comments, so I’ll just sit and wait. Why am I waiting? Because I did what I’ve done for the last couple of LS Fests…I had to search around and find every possible non-GM product that was packing…yep, I hear the groans and moans now…LSX power.<\/p>\n
Do me a favor, though: instead of clamoring for my head on a silver platter, answer me something: with any of these rides, why would the original engine get thrown away for an LSX? I can answer for one car, the late-model Charger: it was a 2.7L V6 car, and NOBODY wants the 2.7 V6, even if it runs flawlessly…which is only a matter of time before they blow the hell up from oiling issues. After that…go price late-model Hemi engines and do some cost-comparison. That’s one car…here is a bunch more! Click on a photo below to see them, if you can stomach it.<\/p>\n
