is it true that the chevy small block is the best and most versatile

It's parroted as "cheap and easy" power by people that thing cross brand engine swaps are good ideas.

>>17561861
To be honest I'm all for whatever works best for my wants, the answer just isn't always the a Chevy motor.

>>17561861
That's because it is cheap and easy. A 350 can be had for under 500 and responds very well to boost as well as internals

>>17561861
Cross brand swaps is fine if you know how to wire or someone else has. The Chevy small block has been in nearly everything so there is write ups and guides.

A shit 350 out of a truck in a junkyard. Might as well pull a 440 out of a motorhome if you're going to go full retard.
>>17561909
Until you realize OEM swaps are cheaper and easier. Or you could build the engine you already have, but apparently nobody here does that.

>>17561970
You generally want the iron block if you're going to run a lot of boost. Junkyard truck blocks have no issues getting into the 10's. Yeah OEM swaps are easier but the LS is literally batter than 98% of OEM engines.

Why are you pretending to be retarded on purpose?

>>17561970
Get me 400 horsepower from my 4-banger.

I'll wait.

Please find me an affordable porsche engine to swap

The sooner you accept the ls as your God the easier it'll get.

>>17562279
I like the LS a lot. But it's not the end-all be-all for all people.

>>17562364
It really is dude....unless you have six figure money, an LS is probably the best thing that could happen to a schlub like you

but it makes the car look retarded

>caring that the engine isn't the same brand
Lol autism.

>>17561797
That car looks like my english teacher from 8th grade who always wore something themed with orange and had a big ass.

>>17561797
No. Too heavy for most cars.

An entire LS swap in a 996 cost less than half of what a twin turbo Mezger would cost just to buy and yet makes the same power while weighing a lot less
