Been looking at the money layout. Cams, carriers, and those phaser units for sure. New crank, beefier rods, Maybe an oversize piston and boring if the micrometers don't agree. Still not sure if I...

The C6s are pretty understated and not real flashy. Might be time to look at one of those models.

Okay, how do I get a v8 swap through Oregon in the Portland smog area?

Am I worrying about nothing and just need a no codes OBD port read like usual for whatever I put in it?

I'm coming to terms with the rev range as I dig more, and agree it's a non-starter for comparison. And the LS3 does spin higher than I expected. I lean to a built IAG block and my SC and E85 and...

Is there a preferred V8 package to pull out and swap into the first gen 86 platform? I see lots of LS3/T56 swaps on youtube, but curious if there's a best car out there to yank it from.

I think it's because I still have it, and I still like it.

The first gen FRS/86 is my favorite. The smooth style of the OG has been skipped over by the new Honda look, and Tesla influence.

End of the era

I was told the 86 platform is done, there will be no 2024's. The 86 cars end this year. Local Toyota dealer salesperson/friend told us last night.

Please tell me they're wrong?
