What car is the best candidate for an LS swap if your aim was

Corvette

>>16696341

>>16696315
Keep said LS for a century, then dump it in whatever the most high tech hypercar is.

Gtr

any bmw with an n54 or n55

any car with a rotary engine

>>16696315
Tesla

>>16696315
My vote still goes to the Rx7. i remember there being a thread about someone wanting to import an Rx7 and rotary fans flocked to the thread to help. then... i don't know if it was good bait but 3-4 post in the OP mentioned he wanted to LS swap it and everyone completely lost their fucking shit.

LS swapping expensive cars isn't going piss off that many people. the biggest fans of cars like the F1 are billionaires and older people in general. the F1 is completely unobtainable to the young so if its distastefully modified or swapped with anything the people who'd normally scream the loudest aren't going to feel personally offended since at the end of the day most people know that car is just a bed-room poster.

You want to LS swap cars that can be considered "community favorites" and are affordable to the point where people take it very personally.

btw that cuck is in a purple shitbox not brown.

Some ultra rare Porsche would be nice but Porsche purists are too easy to trigger.

I'd resto-mod one of these if I were stupid rich. Cars should be driven, Not kept in a museum.

>>16696388

An LS is too clean and efficient. Something like a Detroit Diesel 2 stroke would cause more butthurt.

Any high end supercar, maybe a Ferrari. They got butthurt when Deadmau5 putty shitty vinyl on it, imagine the butthurt if an LS Swap is done from not only Ferrari themselves but from their "muh heritage" fanboys

>>16696392
I really love porsches but I'd definitely want more power out of them
The coyote and ls3 swapped caymans seemed really good

>>16696315
My dream is to swap a Chevy V8 into the only RX-7 SPII, and to swap the rotary out of it into one of the four(?) Corvette ZL1s.

>>16696414
bonus points if its a classic ferrari thats worth multiple millions.

>>16696315
Prius.
It is that simple.

That would be a hard one since Porsches are:

There's a ton of Porsche LS swaps. Most GM engines bolt on to some Porsche transaxles, That's why they're used in Corvair V8 swaps.

>>16696458
928 is FR and V8 powered. And swapping big V8s into the backs of beetles isn't exactly unheard of.

There's been tons of SBC swapped Ferraris, Testarosa, Dino, lots of 400is (they had a Chevy trans so easy swap), a 360, lots of 308s/328s, this thing, I'm sure there are more

>>16696480
When people talk about Porsches without naming a model, they usually mean 911s...

>>16696504
>Chevy trans

In a passion and soul? what the fuck

>90's corolla
>geo metro
If you do this you will make people ass mad when you beat them in a drag race keep in mind the LS swap for a geo the engine would have to be in the back

>>16696478
How does that engine get cooled?
Where did they put the radiator?

Actually yeah, buy a brand new C7 Z06 and swap an LS1 into it.

I think that would genuinely kill a few Corvette enthusiasts.

>>16696570
Sorry, german here.
The big aluminium part with water flowing threw it to cool the engine.

>>16696588
Ohhh, you meant the cooling cube

Prius

>>16696578
That is not a LS1, that is a Ford engine.

>>16696558
I remember MCM engine swapped an old bug and they put the rad on the underside of the front so imagine something similar would work

>>16696543
I feel like between FWD and a short wheel base they wouldn't be all today fast

>>16696315
Ford GT. Either version would work, but the newer Ecoboost variant would probably cause more butthurt.

I suppose a GT40 would also work, but at that point it'd be more about molesting a classic than Ferd vs Chebby

This.
Or some old Duesenberg or something.

>>16696646
But that wouldn't piss anyone off, it'd just be a hilariously fast death trap. Not like anyone's gonna cry over the "ruined" Trabant.

>>16696634
>Ecoboost variant would probably cause more butthurt.
How so? It's a shit engine and it sounds shit, why would anyone bat an eye if you dropped a Supercharged LS9 in there?

>>16696668
If you've got enough time and money laying around to LS swap a Miata, it shouldn't be that difficult to pick up a fastback top to fix the "hairdresser car" look.

>>16696675
>muh evil capitalist engine
>in good old socialist IFA Sachsenring Trabant
>not pissing anyone off

>>16696681
The newer car is a bit more notable performance-wise, and the swap would more directly insult the engineering (marketing) decision that Ford made with the car.

Presumably there are a lot of alphonse-type fantards who will worship anything does, and others who will moan that you didn't use a Coyote or Voodoo instead of the LS.

>>16696707
>anything does

>>16696682

or something that's made worse or it's completely pointless

>>16696802
Renault Twizzy.
It would be ridiculously overpowered and miss the whole point of the "car".

>>16696315
If you're looking for something affordable with maximum butthurt, import a base trim R32 and LS swap it. Then dress it up like a GT-R.

Cunts will think you dumped the RB26 in favour of a truck engine.

>>16696646
>>16696692
You're the only one here that thinks Communists made good cars.

>>16696830
I didn´t say they made good cars, I said they think they made good cars and would be pissed if a capitalist V-8 would be swapped into it.

WHAT THE FUCK WERE THEY THINKING

>>16696850

>>16696850

How to make the car better would be my guess. It's pretty sad how much better the LS is. Especially when you consider it's putting out more power NA with a couple grand in parts than that boat anchor Nissan V6 is putting out with twin burbskies.

Anything Ford.

Go look up fox body 350 swaps and look at all the fucking butthurt

>>16696870
>more power from a naturaly aspirated LS1
>than from a RB26 twin turbo
That is ridiculous.

So did this thing lose it's AWD system thanks to this? Didn't Nissan use an NA V8 in their RWD R35 GT cars?

>>16696918
Yes, the R35 GTR500 and the GT3 GTR both have an NA 5l V8 and RWD

It's not ridiculous, It's called good engineering. Gas straight 6's are a shitty engine design. That GTR in the pic had a 3.8tt and even that while being 20 years newer and again twin turbos it still can't put out the power or a tuned crate engine you can buy at any GM dealership.

>>16696870
I don't think it'll put out more than the v6 which can do 600 out the factory.

>>16696891
