What makes this kit of interest to me is that using it and some LS to GEN I
adapter engine mounts and a rear sump oil pan, it should be about as difficult as swapping in a GEN I engine, and if used with a trans. adapter, you could keep the original trans. which means no custom driveshafts or adapting an electric signal to a cable driven speedo. Also, no custom drive by wire throttle pedal assembly, ECM, electric fuel pump/tank is required. Plus it saves weight, 100-150 lbs., over an iron small block engine and there's the benefit of the newest designed factory cylinder heads. All for about the same price as a performance smallblock or a mild big block build. It seems to be a cost effective way to do an LS engine. And while not the only way to do the swap, it is one way.
