Wtf is with people hating on the looks of LS engines ? Most stock engines look like crap. That is why aftermarket stuff exists.

I don't know, I kinda miss the big 14" chrome air cleaner look on these cars. Or better yet the old Edelbrock foam deep fryer cages cleaners.

I agree. I'd rather look at a ls any day. There is no reason not to use a ls on any car. Best engine out there

Thus the use of one in this project!!!



But they don't LOOK like a hot rod motor. The valve covers are easy to do - or hide the coils -- BUT THAT PLASTIC INTAKE… UGH…

The best stock n/a V8 motor is an AMG Black Series 6.2L with 622 fwhp.

But if it was in this car I'd cover it too.
