Go Ahead, Call Me Sacreligious

Is there anyone on here running an LS motor on their Olds? I know it's politically incorrect to run Chevy stuff on an Olds car, but I can't help but dream about cheap power for an Olds.
If you did an LS swap, was it really complicated? Tell me all about your LS Olds

Hello Bobby455. I've moved your post to the Non-Olds Engines forum. If you have time to read through some of the posts here I believe you'll be able to connect with others who've gone the LS route with their cars.

Treat the car like a chvelle buy the ls install kit which has headers oil pan engine mounts etc ., and its pretty straight forward. Thse installs have been made really easy by the aftermarket. Going efi will require more elctrical work but you could run it with a carb and have a stand alone unit ecm for the ignition.
