Haha, well, every LS swap I've read about required some amount of sledge hammering or sawzall-cutting to the existing sheet metal to get it to fit. SO if you want to do it, get comfortable with the idea.

I thought the plus side to W stuff was you dont have to, it "fits" besides nearly all the local classes require an un modified firewall. Only cutting ive seen is cross members and exhaust, which im having custom made anyhow so its a wash.

I don't toast. I blend. Speaking of blending have you seen the ls6 powered blender top gear made?

Could use some refinement, but otherwise, I think it has promise.

Some of those rotary motors are really impressive, like less than 5% of them. The other 95% are junk.
