You forgot the Urban Dictionary's totally ridiculous definition of a LS1: ls1 The most powerful engine there is. It is extremely underated, and can produce massive amounts of power. people think the Earth spins because of gravitational forces....completely wrong......there is an LS1 in the core of the planet that is causing the spin....a few have been put in space to move the planets around the sun too www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ls1This kind of crap is what's wrong with the younger generations because they believe anything  |

Do a ls swap in it. I got a buddy that built a ls motor n put it in his malibu. It's bad ass. Why does everyone always insist on taking a classic and completely screwing it up and stripping them of their value by wanting to rip out the matching numbers drive train, There is nothing cool about putting a new engine in a old vehicle. what is cool is taking the time and the pride in it and building the original. You are just destroying history any other way. go buy you a damn Honda and screw it up ( Or one of them ugly ass malibus that wasn't worth the metal they were stamped out of. ) Bla bla bla. Cause it's bad ass that's why. |

That's the problem... They are not bad ass. There is nothing an LS can do that can't be done with the original engine

Some of you young guys don't remember that the GTO was powered by a 389. Then later a 400. That motor has been around and is proven.

Some of you young guys don't remember that the GTO was powered by a 389. Then later a 400. That motor has been around and is proven. For 1959 the V8's stroke was increased to 3.75 in (95 mm), raising displacement to 388.9 cu in (6,373 cc). This was the beginning of factory supplied performance items such as 4 bolt main bearings and windage trays to reduce friction from crankcase oil. The 389 would remain the standard Pontiac V8 engine through 1966, offered in a bewildering variety of outputs ranging from 215 to 368 horsepower (160 to 274 kW). The 389 was the standard engine for the Pontiac GTO through 1966. Beginning in 1961 the Pontiac V-8 (389 and 421) is now called the TROPHY V-8, due to its many victories in racing. For 1967, Pontiac introduced the 400 cu in (6,555 cc). The '400' V8 was essentially a bored-out (+.060) 389 with 4.1225-inch (104.71 mm) bore and 3.75-inch (95 mm) stroke 400.4 cu in (6,561 cc). It replaced the 389 in 1967 and remained in production through the 1978 model year. The 1979 cars with a 400, had an engine produced in 1978. The 400 was a popular performance option for many of Pontiac's cars. The 400 produces a good balance of low end torque and higher RPM power when used with a 4-barrel carburetor or other high airflow components. |
