Folks in the fall of 1954 (yes, 1954, 55 Chevy's came out in fall of 1954) were poking around salvage yards looking for these "new" Chevrolet engines, in wrecked cars. Having heard the performance potential, and they were not disappointed. Same thing going on now. Nobody is putting any of the ford stuff or a hemi in their Hot Rods, yes one, here and there, but very few...
Think about how powerful a 455 inch LS engine would be......
Making a good running early small block Chevy was not difficult. Making a good running LS is easier, but all the gyrations you have to go through to convert an older vehicle, in not cheap!!!
I'll stick with the old stuff, no hate for the LS world here.
