that’s pretty tempting, and has a LOT of potential… 300whp is nothing for that motor lol

This seems like a better, more balanced platform than the popular LS1 swap.

in a way… it just depends on what you are going for overall… the weight isnt really an issue honestly… lsx swaps dont really weigh very much and with a shorter length, leave more room for accessories and cooling… the torque of a v8 in such a light/small chassis is where you run into issues lol
all that being said, if it were a 100% complete, road worthy car, i would have a hard time not buying it right now…

It’s pretty cool, seems like the skimped out on the interior and just screwed gauges and let wires hang where ever, idk about anyone else but it would make me wonder what else they skimped out on
