The older I get, the more I realize I have a thing for Jap chassis LS3 swaps. Like...raging hard-on.

I feel like that would upset the whole car and make it front end heavy

Do you people realize how small ls engines are? They're also full aluminum. They weigh 385 lbs wet. Please I'm tired of misinformation being spread on this forum.

Cajun food is a double-edged sword (slathered in fire). It's delicious, but damn does my mouth hurt.

LS engines are compact and powerful, great for conversions. But I just don't find them very exciting. I quickly get tired of how rumbly they feel.

LS swapped RX-7s are the reason I hate the LS motor.

Rotary engines are the reason I hate the RX-7.

FD sexiness and handling + LS power delivery sounds pretty fantastic to me.

I'm a bit of a traditionalist, so I'm not the biggest fan of engine swaps in the first place. But people have a tendency to find an LS(x) and swap it into everything, instead of trying to use the actual engine the car came with. To me, it's lazy and boring and predictable. I'd rather see a well built 13b or even 20b RX7 over an LS swapped RX7 any day.

No offense to anyone in the medical profession but it shows more gratifying immediate results and won't have the student loans out the wazoo
