LSx Valiant Build. Take a look inside...
Way on target Txstang84 Especially the part about knocking older mopar engine designs compared to the LS engines. The older small block , big block, and Hemi mopar engines were the best designs of their time, just like the flat head V8 ford was the standard everyone was judged by until the "new" overhead valve chevy V8 came out in 1955. Hot rodders still build flathead fords today even though they are not cutting edge anymore. Some are still competitive and creating new records on the salt flats even today. Build what you like, just remember one thing, somebody will eventually design a better mousetrap that will make the LS end up like the flathead was compared to chevys OHV V8 in 1955. Remember back in the day hot rodders put the flathead in everything. It was the swap engine of choice.
