I don't doubt that LS engines are more efficient than our Pontiac engines. Really, they should be as new as they are. I just don't think an LS engine belongs in a 60's-70's Pontiac or a hot rod. When I see an LS in an older car, I instantly lose interest and quit looking at the car. Anyone can go find a cheap salvage yard LS engine and stick in their Pontiac. That is the cheap and easy way out for someone who probably doesn't enjoy working on cars. If that's what you are in to, that is fine. It's just not for me. LS engines are also one of the ugliest engines ever made in my opinion. I'd much rather pop the hood and see a real Pontiac engine. They are one of the best looking engines ever made. I do know that my 50 year old 428 won't get embarrassed by one of these new cars.
