Or a limited budget.

Or isn't a hipster who needs to feel "special" to be an enthusiast.

Non-Mustang Foxbody + 5.3 LS + big single turbo = best cheapie drag car.

>>16875613
>Skill-less
If they perform a single LS conversion, that'll be one more than you've ever pulled off. Fabrication requires skill, especially going from one engine mfg to another.

>Just want a cheap thrill
Any automotive enthousiasts is looking for an engaging ride at a reasonable price. If you think people should only enjoy expensive or unique things, you're just a snob.

>>16882904

Why do DOHC V engines exist? Fucking boat anchors....

>>16875741
Why isn't the Coyote booth twice as big as the LS one?

>>16875754
Why bother putting a Mod motor in there, when you could've used an Audi V8 for about the same price?

>>16882972
good for trucks, stupid for performance cars.

>>16882990

How is DOHC good for a truck? It's bigger, heavier and more complex while putting out less power.

Do you mean LS engines are bad for performance cars? How is reliable power in a compact package bad?

>>16882883
no but I use a Unix based OS

>>16882971
Im a car enthusiast so I would never swap a LS

>>16882972
because they are better than OHV engines

>>16883011
DOHC is bigger and heavier which is better for a truck because it holds more torque.
OHC like LS is better for performances.

>>16883029
LS isnt OHC

its OHV which is shit for performance comparatively speaking

>>16875359
Top bait

For real though, you can't even begin to whine and bitch about engine swaps. They are the perfect example of aftermarket ingenuity, imagination, and creativity.

It's like saying an LS swapped Miata is boring

way better for performances

>>16883109

>wow a LS swap
>neva been done befo

I will repeat it adinfinitum LS swaps are boring and just shows off how unimaginative and skilless the person is

>>16883124

>>16883109
>tfw no Roush 588 swapped Miata

>>16883137
luckily i dont think anyones swapped an engine to garner praise on a taiwanese oyster shucking board.

Its for the gains

>>16883137
So it's boring because it's a popular swap? K. I guess all good and/or popular things are boring.

Guess a 2gr-fe MR2 is boring because it's a popular swap

This is good bait

>>16883029
You really don't know what the fuck you're talking about, do you?

>>16883419
the torque is good for trucks its a well know fact.
but OHV is lighter for performances.

>>16883137
What about an LS turd gen? They almost bolt right in and for not much money either. Bothering to swap anything else in would just be pissing away money and time when an LS is gonna do the job just as well if not better.

>>16875328
did I miss something

>>16883585
Don't bother. It's obviously too mainstream for his hipster self. Don't you know that if you can't spend months and thousands of dollars figuring out an obscure engine swap that you're a worthless piece of shit?

>>16882972
Smaller displacement for same power output. Rev better, sound better, better gas milage. Bigger but still nice.

Lets's compare an Audi 4.8 with a 6.2 LS for example.

The LS is physically smaller, Lighter, More reliable and puts out more HP and TQ than the 4.8. What's the point of the DOHC again?

It always comes down to hp/l in Europe or on /o/ when it's hp/lb that matters more. If you finally learnt this you wouldn't have sub 5 liter V8's that are the size of a big block Chevy V8.

>>16885100
Good luck getting 2 hp and 1.5 lb ft of torque out of an OHV NA engine. You can't do it

>>16885151
Sorry 2 hp and 1.5 lb ft per cubic inch

>>16885151
my godmachine is the perfect engine. V6 DOHC naturally aspirated.

exactly what I want to pair with my driving philosophy.

That's extremely easy now days, Many daily drivers are exceeding that. Boats, Rock bouncers, Trophy trucks, ect will make that and go flat out for hours on end.
What's the most you can get out of a Audi 4.8? Like 500 on a good day before the 80 feet of timing chain disintegrates?

There's a reason why there's a GM on the moon and not a VW...

Sort of relevant, but the lunar rover uses Renault 10 disc brakes. They needed 4 wheel discs and nobody else had a set that was small and light enough.

>>16883137
Why does it have to be "different?" you're as bad as stance spics at that point. What a dumb fucking argument

If you want to be different then swap an LS into something dumb like a Ford Aerostar. Otherwise kys

>>16875328
A reliable Ford? Can't be a bad thing for any poor sucker behind the wheel of one.

To be fair, the van did pull into a car pool lane while over a solid line, meaning he was fully in the wrong, and almost killed the biker.

>>16890955
that still gives zero justification for destruction of property. mr. special snowflake on his organ donation express doesn't need to be speeding in the carpool lane, anyways. dickless cunts like that give all bikers a bad name.

no.

>>16891218
Depending on your state, bikes are allowed to use them.
Plus you don't know if he has a passenger.
Also judging by the speed of the cars around the video, they're probably not speeding (or speeding enough for a cop to ticket them)
