There is someone in this group, thankfully on my "Ignore list", who would qualify :D

I don't profess to know the weight difference on an LS1 however.
You get peanuts who drop chev engines into Jaguars, then find out the error of there ways, along with there wasted money, when they take it for a run on the highway :DQuote:

At the work shop dads got a crap old 40 series crusier the guy who owns it has paid $6500 for spanker 350 Chev from states food for thought rebuilding a Rover motor no dout would be a whole lot more what are chances of picking a 3.9 in good nick
What an argument over what to put in???? Chill guys....:)
Chevs are a great strong motor and easy to convert..... ive had one in a Volvo and Jag.
Rover V8's very nice... but not cheap to build... and the HP gains from a 4.6 is not that impressive.. Mind you i'm putting a 3.9 in my county...
Hemi with 727 auto.... mmmmm Now we are talking and not much heavier than a Tdi. Lighter than an Isuzu
my 30c
