Best sleeper to drop an LS1 into

So I got to thinking what car would you NEVER expect to be fast? What would be the most entertaing car to drop a built LS1 into and just smoke other people.

proposed idea…LS1 Toyota Prius!

Datsun 510

ok well apparently they’re putting speaker in them to sound like they have a V8, woooooooow. I need to find someone who’s ACTUALLY swaped a V8 in

This is hillarious because my friend and I were just talking about the logistics behind doing the swap in this car the otherday. It’d be so tight a fit the driver would burn his leg on the exhaust manifold unles you moved driving ability to the back seat

Did you know that there is a BMW e36 M3 conversion body kit for these cars?

v8s have been swapped in before. i would never consider a 510 a sleeper, people throw in high performance engines all the time.

lol fuck you there is.

I know they use E36 headlights alot, I used to own one.

This piece of shit?

win.

Get the Park Avenue Ultra- its very similar to a LeSabre but its got the GTP motor already in it. Peel off the supercharged emblem and do some mods to it.

Gotta agree, 510 is NOT a sleeper. Tons of fast ones out there. I would do a K-car wagon, or something retarded like that. Maybe a corvair, and do wheellies everywhere.

Too much work to be swapping LS1’s into fwd cars in my opinion.

Speaking of K-Cars have you seen the 10 second Reliant on www.thedodgegarage.com ?

How is a datsun 510 not a sleeper?

B/c when you have a TON of them rolling around that look like this:

Its hard to say you can make one a “good” sleeper.

It kinda like saying a Nova is a sleeper, b/c they werent that quick from the factory, but now eveyone has a tubbed BB chevy Nova…

IMO any car that came from the factory that was slow in its time, looks slow and isnt cosmeticly outstanding and looks stock is a sleeper

so yes a 510 is a sleeper

although if I saw one that looked like that id assume it had something done to it as 510’s constantly get motor swaps

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

show me more then two in one area thats not a car show, and just driving. ive only seen one in NY just driving. Older guy in his 60’s up by diamond point. everything orig.

I would LOVE to have one. fuck a s13.

Yes around here

but look on nissan/510 forums, theres a ton of them

I hate how everyone assumes that just because something is not in our area its uber rare
