My 440 LSX in a...

These Vettes can be picked up for cheap. Thought it might be fun to throw my 440 LSX in one as a hydraulic roller, match it up with a built M6 and convert the rear to throw in another FAB9. I even like the stock wheels lol...

[Zinergy]

I like the idea. And yes the late model C3s are cheap these days.

[cam02ss]

I think it would be fun...I certainly don't see many of them on the road. I don't need to sell my engine so might as well do something with it

[GTP231]

Might as well give it a home somewhere
Just gotta find an orange one with a trunk rack

[SMWS6TA]

I love the C3 body style. That would make it an interesting build

A shop I frequent in East Tennessee built a C3 with an LS3 recently. Car was pretty damn cool to say the least.

[cam02ss]

I could have the rear mini tubbed easily enough, fit decent size MT ET Streets back there. The engine was built for a 400 shot...put a bottle with 150 jets in there. Would be really fun

[Zinergy]

That would be fun in pretty much any vehicle.

[cam02ss]

It would. I've always wanted to have an older car so this would work well

[FasstChevys]

I like it

The best would be to use an old "Crossfire" C3 and keep the badging!

I always think about trying to find an '81 or '82 Mint condition Cutlass Supreme Coupe Diesel and dropping and LSX in for a family tourer (and keep the diesel badges on). Of. Ourse, a Duramax could be fun too.

[cam02ss]

Right, that's the plan. I'd keep the outside stock save for better/wider tires. I'd also put a set of side pipes on. The cam wouldn't be as radical with the hydraulic roller but definitely still big. I'd also back the compression down to 11.5:1 or so. Healthy cam and side pipes? Yes please

[Zinergy]

You should put it in a late 80s early 90s e150 van. Get yourself a real sleeper.

[CJREX]

If I had an LSX engine sitting around waiting for a home, I'd most likely let it set up residence in one of these...



Shouldn't be too hard to find one with a blown engine

[GTP231]

I'd be happy doing that swap in an FC

[CJREX]

FC or FD would outperform the C3.

Plus, with a nice set of wheels, both are simply beautiful cars.

[Zinergy]

An LSX in a FD might outperform a c6.

An LSX in a FD might outperform a c6.

With that 440, I wouldn't be surprised if it outperformed a C7 Z06

[cam02ss]

I should put it in one of these...

[Zinergy]

Sure but the late model c3 will be less expensive.
