LOL there are always going to be some Pontiac loyals that turn a blind eye.

I lost track of this thread a couple pages ago, and looks like it hasn't changed.

So I'm not sure where someone may have said buy an LS in a junk yard for $500 and run tens, but that certainly doesn't happen for $500. Not sure where that came from. My intent was to explain they are plentiful for cheap and easy to swap and turn key as is. That's what makes them enticing for retro swaps.

If you want to go slapping turbos on them that's a different ballgame. I've seen many get away with it on a budget and go pretty quick. It's one of the few engines I've seen able to do that in stock form and last for at least a while, but that's not the way I really prefer to do it.
