Nice swap,
And stop complaining about the half breed stuff everyone, thankfully we are blessed with big engine bays and we can swap whatever we want in there unlike camaros and such.
You cannot deny the fact that the LS1 is FAR better than what he had in there, and I am also a huge fan of the LS1, its a super badass motor stuck in cars with ****ty rearends and interiors. Having this narrow view that "omg you cant put anything in there but a ford motor" is like the whole narrow minded "all imports suck regardless of what they are" view, then you get smoked by some little crappy civic.
Anybody he opens the hood for and realizes what motor that is, is going to **** a brick. I think thats what counts most.
