LS Engine Swaps in Classic Cars - Your Thoughts
There's no secret that SBC swaps and now LS swaps have been around forever afflicting Datsun Zs, Porsche 944s, RX7s, Old Jags you name it...what do you guys actually think?
Viewing a discussion on Bring A Trailer, someone chimed in and said you get an easy 400-450hp with a LS engine swap, but 250hp in a Datsun Z or 300hp in a 944 is an absolute riot (I know as I own both) and our streets are so crowded anymore there is absolutely nowhere you can use 400hp let alone 450hp or more...and who has time to go to the track anyway?
Other than some meagre bench racing bragging rights, what the real advantage? I don't think its maintenance as Datsun parts are inexpensive, 944 parts aren't bad either..and personally I prefer the nostalgic sound of bridge ported rotary in a RX7.
Your thoughts?
