Very few people who have commented really didn't understand the question asked.

It wasn't a question about transplanting an LS into a Pontiac....

It was a question asking if an Old School Pontiac could be built to perform similar to an LS....

As others who have read and understood the question have said, they are two completely different animals. I believe a Pontiac can compete and even surpass the LS up to about 700HP and It would do it with Torque. However as we inch up past 800-900 to over 1000... the Pontiac would be left in the dust. Not because the Pontiac cant be built to make that Power... its because it wont live long making that kind of power. The LS will do it all day reliably.

If God had a V8 powered chariot it would be running an LS. The LS is Gods chosen engine.

Nope. It would be a HEMI, and here's the proof:

I've got all three, '67 434 (400), '04 5.3L and '15 5.7 hemi. All of them are great engines and punch above their CID. The newer engines win when it comes to emissions, fuel economy and finesse with modern electronics. The Pontiac is the most fun, since there are no digital nannies holding it back with traction control, torque management or throttle by wire response times. There is no latency waiting for half the motor to wake up from 4-cyl mode.

The Pontiac does what it does with raw physics and 3 gears. The newer, smaller engines need 3 computers and 6 or 8 speeds to tear your head off.

We've all heard about the Friday and Monday built cars that assembly line workers build, and the build quality, or lack thereof just prior to, or after a weekend break. I guess that pretty well says what happened as God was resting on the Sabbath after 6 days of hard labor...…... LMAO...…….
