I don't see why the big fuss over a question like this. Every man to his own decision just help him out if you can even if you don't like his idea. What if a gm guy decided to put a 351 W in his camaro then went out to the track and smoked you so bad you though you were in neutral? How would you feel? Would you be mad it was ford powered? Or rather jelouse that he was able to make it faster than your car? Why not be able to drive a car with an engine that parts are cheap for (not neccesarly the ls1 but a chevy engine) and still be able to enjoy your favorite body style. I see it like this Ls1 engine, Tranny undecided, 9 inch rear with 4.11 gears. All for 1k on the engine, already have the rear, about 1.5k on the tranny, plus custom made solid motor mounts, fuel pump, fuel lines, headers, then throw in a home made ram air system, and imagination. About 3.5 K running 12's and a unique set up. With no idle problems, custom burnt chips, dealing with machinist, power adders, and picking matched parts.
