I love the LS V8's but they've gotten stale. No one is impressed when you say you have an LS swap anymore.
I hope some new engine can become a viable engine swap candidate with good aftermarket support that isn't fuckhuge like the Coyote.

I didn't say all engine swaps are stale. Only LS swaps.
I'm more impressed by Northstar, Coyote, new Hemi, or UZ V8 swaps these days,
"oh... another LS swapped car. Toss it in that pile with the 5000 others"

why is everything a competition to you niggers? why can't you appreciate both I4's and V8's?

Personally I love high revving japshit as well as big heavy torquey V8's. It's not hard to like both. They're good at different things.

you can't use a large displacement I6 or V8 in every type vehicle and get a good result you know. That's why engines come in different sizes and configurations. different vehicles have different purposes and goals. it's really pretty simple

>>14715304
only config that shits over every other one is i4 turbo and v6 turbo

I may be gay, but what's impressive when every single part you need to swap the engine into everything from a Geo Metro to a fucking space shuttle exists. LS swaps are pretty much "paint by numbers" at this point.
>>1UZ

Maybe so but they take a lot more work.
>>northstar
>only for transverse layouts..
First gen Cadillac SRX, STS, and XLR got RWD variants with the same bolt pattern as the LS V8. There was even a 4.4L factory supercharged variant.
>>coyote or new hemi
>better than LS swaps but also MUCH more expensive. instead of $3000 its $13,000
Still more impressive. Mainly because the Coyote is so fuckhuge that it requires extensive firewall modification to fit into most cars.

>>14715297
He's talking for EVERYTHING to get the swap running, including computers, transmissions and miscellaneous shit.

you've never done an engine swap to think the price of the engine is the only thing to consider

to do an LS swapped miata properly you need at LEAST $5000 just for swap related items. not the chassis, or the engine or mods

what are you even trying to say lol explain please

No it wouldn't. LS swaps are SO much cheaper than Coyote swaps mainly because you can pick up LS engines and workable transmissions SO cheap at junkyards. The average entire LS swap doesn't even cost as much as a junkyard Coyote from a wrecked Mustang.

fuck off faggot

>>14715341
I assumed he was talking engine prices, no one is retarded enough to think a coyote swap would cost 4 times more than an ls swap. 3k is the price of a decent LS by the way..

>>14715319
>not wanting your engine swap platform to have aftermarket support

the reason you swap in an LS V8 is because you can make 400 WHP N/A all fucking day long

not every engine swap is supposed to be some hip cool build with a totally unique setup. just look at Hondas. your average mexican can do an engine swap in their civic because they're well documented and fully supported

cookie cutter D series turbo builds make 300-400 hp predictably and reliably. people use the same fucking vitara piston/eagle rod setup right off ebay.

>>14715371

mine came with a free trans am for $2500 :^)

I understand the reasons the LS is popular. I acknowledge them and I've seen so many it's become dull. Like when you listen to a great song over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over... and expect it to never get dull or annoying.

>>14715384
I and often impressed with Modular swaps because there's so few done.

>>14715374
>the reason you swap in an LS V8 is because you can make 400 WHP N/A all fucking day long
because a coyote make less than that bone stock, and UZs cant make that NA, right?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clRvHdA47rw

the reason people swap LS engine is because thats what they are comfortable working with.

>>14715362
its around $3000 for the cheapest of LS swaps - putting into a GM pickup (S10)

An LS V8 is not unlike a built SBC in power production.

this isn't a bad thing

woah, omeone give a nobel prize to this cunt

>>14715389
Is the purpose of an engine swap to impress everyone with your fab skills or to make the car faster? Do you care about the novelty or do you care about the numbers?

>>14715410
Because you can. from a truck in a junkyard, 4.8's and 5.3's are a dime a dozen. useable transmissions are generally 3 times more expensive than the engine because the transmissions everyone wants are much rarer than the engines.
Only $500 of that 2k is the engine. The rest is transmission

>>14715414
>yeah with aftermarket aluminium cylinder heads.
you are clueles
back in the day people were making 400whp out of them

>like the old V8's you just mentioned...

I can't fault them for it, but then you see the morons at show with LS swaps trying to hype it up like it's oh so unique.

Hell, my ex currently has an 83 Toronado project and was wondering what to do engine-wise. I suggested an LS swap (bolting up to the existing FWD transaxle) since most of the shit he'd need to get it in are already available, just have to make custom mounts.

2rd gen Hemi has so much potential - but Mopar is ruining the aftermarket with their locked-down electronics, and they aren't alloy blocks like the LS, which is wierd considering Dodge has been casting alloy performance blocks longer than GM iirc.
