I've seen so many great japanese cars been engine swapped for LS engines.... so I made this meme explaining how i feel us jap car fans react to pictures of LS Swapped JDM icons.. CarThrottle Forums Updated: 29 Nov 2024 Previous I got a question that may be stupid. Can you drift and automatic car and if you can, how do you do it? Thanks for your help :D Next The new Lamborghini Revuelto is here! Sponsored PostsComments As an muscle car guy, I say DO NOT LS SWAP STUFF! its like someone putting a straight six or a 4 banger in a chevy… It should be criminalized :’( My reaction: Why swap out innovation for outdated pushrods? Hmmm. Sorry, "outdated" and "pushrods" are only applicable together if your mindset is in the 70’s. The LS is actually a really nifty piece of kit. Longevity, reliability, cheaper to fix.Also you can get an engine with a much larger displacement in the car, allowing more tunability. I agree, JDM is for high boost or high redline, I like keeping it in the family, 2jz and such for toyotas, rb26 for nissans, etc. except for miatas, miatas are a blank canvas for any mods you would like People will start rotary swapping ‘67 mustangs and throwing 2l on camaros….
