One of the Cleanest Swaps/Builds I've Seen Yet
Don't know if this is a repost or not, but even if it is then it deserves more attention. This thing is absolutely breathtaking.

It's a nice build, but he's ignorant. All LS1's were aluminum block. I wouldn't expect the BMW nerds to know that.

Once the body had been prepped and painted the owner had originally requested a BMW 3.2L transplant. However, after coming across some LS conversion on the internet one night, he began toying with the idea of going a bit wilder. Not particularly keen on an iron-block LS1, which would have made the car too front heavy, he explored the idea of an all-alloy LS3, which would weigh around 30 kg less. As the owner says, "the rest is history!"

It's definitely a very clean swap, but it doesn't just amaze me. There have been so many LS swaps on pretty much any vehicle ever made that even a really nice one doesn't just amaze me. It definitely deserves respect for being a clean job, but it doesn't really impress me beyond that.

This car couldn't possibly suit our current "sleeper" theme any better
Sleeper perfection to say the least.
