I will add that on cars that have a less than charismatic engine....game on. Mreid’s LSX swapped Defender is freaking awesome. LSX into a Jeep is awesome. LSX into a Land Cruiser is awesome. Only when the engine is really integral to the car do I see it as a shame. RX7 is another great example, the angry little pony keg of bees rotary engine is an integral part of the character and appeal of the RX7. In that case the LSX also ruins the balance because it is heavier and has to sit farther forward, ruining the original front-mid engine balance.
