There’s a late C3 that hasn’t moved in about a year or so. So I had an idea. LS swap! Well an L20 swap at least. The general idea is to build it with a late 70's mindset. So instead of focusing things on like high horsepower and handling, it’d be more focused on efficiency and interior style.

I’m not sure what the market is on 70's style GT cruisers would be but if I had a million dollars I'd probably try and find out.

The problem with an LS swap Corvette is that it’ll cost about $5k. And with $5k in upgrades, a 350 SBC will destroy all other options.

I dig disco Vettes. I know I’m in the minority, but I ain’t care!

Hellcat swap is the only option.

You can find a 4.8l for a couple hundred I’m sure.

And again. Horsepower is not the goal. There are probably a thousand high hp late c3 builds. Why do it again?

This ain’t 1954, no 6's in my vette.

Though maybe a built vega cosworth 4cyl for sheer head-splosions.

I generally hate them, but I guess in all black it hides their rubber bumper awkwardness. Or I'm just very soft hearted to abandoned cars.

Ahhh I meant the GM L20, the 4.8l V8 truck engine.

Oh that makes sense. Also Vega Cosworth swap sounds amazing
