What car would you swap an LS motor into and drive the piss out of? Right now I'm dreaming about owning a Porsche 911 with an LS. The 996 generation has some sort of problem with a bearing wearing out prematurely, which can lead to a chatostrophic engine failure. You can pick up a non running model for under 10k. Factor in another 10k the LS swap and you got a ride that is completely different than all the common LS Z cars, rx7's 240's, fox body's etc. An LS is a little taller and longer but from what I'm told it makes a negligible difference on weight and handling. Only thing that could be a little weird is the gearing, 1st would top out at like 35mph with a 5500 redline. So I'd prolly build the motor to spin 6500. On the plus you prolly wouldn't be fighting for traction so much with the weight all over the rear.

65 Biscayne post with 427 LSX and T56. Appearance-wise would be bone stock trim, paint, etc with body color matched steel wheels (widened) with center cap. Realistically, though, a 6.0 with 4L80 would be pretty dope too.
