    Show me LSx motors where they don't belong!

    I have a fascination with this family of motors and how they seem to fit a vast variety of applications - show me them!

    I'd really like more power in my Miata (and I miss my old 'Vette) but from what I've read about the cost of the swap it would probably just be cheaper (not to mention MUCH less time consuming) to buy another C6 than to try to put an LS2/LS3 in my Miata

    Ford makes it, Chevy shakes it.
    Wear my name on the back of my belt..Believe there's a God to save me from hell
    And dirt roads were made for country boys like me..Don't belive in politically correct
    You wanna a piece me better have a set..A rifle and a four wheel drive is all I need.
    Still believe in the good ole American way.

    Has there ever been an Alfa GTV (the '80ies kind) with an LS swap? Should be a good candidate as it's transaxle from the start.

    There are a few of them converted out there, but fairly rare overall.
