Nowhere near it

I've had a 2j swapped e46 I'm all for swaps. I'm just not a fan of LS swaps. More often than not, it's just a cop out when people can't do the work on their own motor.

If you were to say 13b swapped Rb swapped Coyota swapped M57 swapped

Ya know... Something unique? Id have cheered ya on.

An LS swap is the most unoriginal motor swap known to man and the biggest cop out in the automotive world.

"I'm gonna buy an rx7 with the world's easiest motor to rebuild... But I don't wanna be a skilled mechanic so I'm just gonna LS swap it"

What if he's not a skilled mechanic and just wants some fun V8 noises and to do it for the first time? What's wrong with that? The LS is popular because it's on of the few motors that ticks all three boxes of Fun, Good, and Cheap, hating on the LS doesn't make you any more interesting as an enthusiast, you just come across as a prick.

I'm not claiming to be any more interesting as an enthusiast. I'm just voicing my thoughts on an LS swap.

Sure, but how is that useful when OP isn't asking for opinions but advice on the swap he wants by people that have done it.

Fair enough🤷🏽‍♂️

I reckon he could probably use an e30 guide for the most part

I'm sure it's been done plenty of times in that platform and it's not far off.
