    Well if that's the weight then go for it, post pictures but I still think GM makes garbage engines well just about everything they make is garbage then again I'm a Ford fan, owned lots of 'em plus two Toyota's. After you've shoehorned the LS in, go ahead and take a crack at the 1GD-FTV 2.8L diesel an engine swap that really makes sense. :thumbsup:

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    Precisely why trophy trucks run V6s.....

    errr...

    An engine doesn't displace anything if there is no ambient air "pressure".

    Do either of you have any intention to boost your engines or do you just like running your chops?

    Engine displacement is the volume swept by all the pistons inside the cylinders of a reciprocating engine in a single movement from top dead centre (TDC) to bottom dead centre (BDC). It is commonly specified in cubic centimetres (cc or cm3), litres (l), or (mainly in North America) cubic inches (CID).

    An engine in a vacuum will not displace anything.

    Semantics. But trying to prove a point. Seems some TW members are just too dense.

    And you are a moron if you would rather have an upside down oil filter that makes a mess vs a canister. You know what's inside a metal filter, right?
