Dont listen to the haters. I have a buddy with an LS swap in an FD and its friggin nasty. You cant beat the reliability, power, and the awesome sound. His rearend didnt hold up though, haha. What kinda rear you gonna put in it? I think he was looking into a cobra rearend, but went with another stock until he decides what he wants. He has pulled 1.6 60' in it, with street tires before he blew the rearend. Saw him last week at ATCO run a 12.4 with a VERY mild launch will a 2.XX 60'. This is probably my favorite swap by far. Good luck with everything!
