Anything is possible with enough cutting and money. There have been a couple of LS swaps already.

 

[smokinjoe]

Im a ford man the LS1 is a glori fied 350 imo lol

 

[whippersnapper02]

I believe the Chevy small block came out first 1955 so if anything the Ford small block is a glorified Chevy small block.

I would say go with a Hemi v8 lol

Dump a LS6 454 in her and watch her scream!

 

[smokinjoe]

this motor pushed my heavy 69 stang to a 11.27 et but im more looking for torque

 

[whippersnapper02]

Diesel.

 

[Manwithoutaplan]

Fap fap fap ^

 

[whippersnapper02]

Torque.

Wonder Bread truck diesel engine would be awesome!

 

[smokinjoe]

Or better yet a 5.9l Cummins turbo diesel but I think that's too long of an engine for these without modding the firewall but wow that would be awesome

 

[whippersnapper02]

Dieseltoyz will swap in a Toyota D40 for $25K.

i say 18 liter Mercedes out of a freightliner!

I vote for the LS1. With the light weight of an aluminum engine it'll help with its balance and handling characteristics.

after having a Mercedes turbo diesel

Im gonna throw a W16 in mine.
Who only wants 1 or two turbos, when you can have 4?
