"LS swap" is now the go to engine retrofitting.

Long, long before the LS was even a twinkle in an engineer's eye, the the 1st generation chevy small block V8 was the most common choice for hot rods.

The Ford flat-head V8 would like to have a word with you.

Either way, the chevy small block (and its evolution to the LS) has been dominant for a very long time.

That's exactly what the memo was commenting on.

Where's the least expected place you've found a LS engine? I found out they use them on airboats in the bayou in Louisiana.
