Everyone who sees a ruined older car with LS power thinks it's bad ass. More like dumbass!!!
Of course it's funny that Ford's little bitty mod motor is running quicker than any LS based engine!!! (low 6's for the mod motor compared to very high 6's for the best 150k+ LS based engine with custom billet heads)

The point you just missed was just because it has a LSseries engine in it doesn't mean it's worth a crap!

Based on your assumption of RACE CAR ENGINES? Keep dreaming dude. The LSX engine is something special. In 1999, I had a Trans Am that made 309hp at the wheels. Not bad for something that was rated at 305 net at the crank. They've only gotten better and there are plenty of aftermarket parts and support for them.

dumb ass? if that isn't the pot calling the kettle black. a car don't need to run in the 6's,7's or even 9's to be a bad car. if you have a fully loaded street car with a/c running in the 10's or 11's that is very respectable. as for ruining the value, to each is there own. 2 months ago when I kicked a rod out the side of my block of my 900 hp Buick v6 I called Jim Butler about building a Pontiac motor. but after thinking more about it I'm building another v6. it is what I want.

exactly. as a matter of fact I called the friend of mine that works over there, & I was mistaken, it is a stock LS motor. it is a very clean looking car.
