It always amazes me the HATE people have for anything related to GM. Take the name brands out of the equation and not sure why you would say one is junk over the other. You do realize a lot of the wearable parts are probably sourced from the same MFGs especially if your engine has had a rebuild.

Kind of the like the Honda or Toyota people swearing their alternator or starter is so superior when they are the same part.


There is a reason the Chevy LS engine swap is so popular and it isn't because it doesn't work. They are light weight V8 engines as they shave almost 100LBS off the 1st gen version and yes compared to most 6cyl they are give and take 50lbs.


The porsche air cooled 6 is a legendary engine but in the real world of chasing HP anybody who has gone that route will tell you that you better have some serious pockets to develop the parts needed to compare with a stock LS7. I guess it can be done but also remember how drivable will it be? I also agree with the reliability issue as it will be made up of aftermarket parts that YOU will be testing compatibility and dependability so that $50k rebuild can turn into a $75k real quick.

The GM LS engines is also one of the best designed engines out there. For the simplicity of the engine what other engine with the same displacement naturally aspirated comes close HP to dollar to as a LS7. Let's not forget you can order it from a dealership with GM tested parts.

There is the crowd that just loves telling everyone how much they paid to have their car worked on and will never get the idea of wanting similar HP at 1/4 the cost. GM LS engines are far from junk. Where in the world are you getting your info. So the Vettes are not spanking everybody out their??

Come on build what you want and stop the 5year old nonsense. If you can appreciate a 500HP car it shouldn't matter what is under the hood. Yeah all GM engines are junk and it is a goverment conspiracy regarding the weight and HP numbers. Are you serious?? Sadly I believe you are. Let me guess a Porsche lic plate surround on your Pathfinder? Harley sticker in the back window?

Come on!
