My statements were about cool/older cars :D. A LSx installed in what it originally came in is the exception to the rule, as well as LSx in any classic chevy, ford, studebaker, et al. LSx in a Pontiac, Olds, Buick - not cool. > > It’s a fine line as to what a chevy motor can/cannot be installed in. When in question feel free to hit me up:D > > I think Olds Rocketman knows what I’m talking about. the lsx swap is so popular and to keep it from gettin played out BOP’s should stay BOP… it cool when somone applies new tech to an old motor instead of just buyin it from a crate. that part of hot rodding. infact back in the late 70’s GM got sued because people that bought go olds were stuck with chevy engines when they specifically wanted an olds power plant. the olds 307, while slow as a turtle, is way more durable than its equivalent chevy 305. the 305 is smoking after 20k and the olds will run strong till the chain snaps around 140k-170k --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/larryshots-87-olds/195545)._
