Believe me when I say I'd rather keep the original engine, I have a friend who's looking up what changes I'd all have to do to swap to an LS1 engine. Definitely not looking good, I'll be gaining an extra 240 pounds and ya my center of gravity will change, etc. So I think the 5m is going to stay, I hate straight line cars, pointless.
