Please no shit post.
How did the LS get so universally adopted? I understand there are competing engines(Coyote) but how often do you hear of a coyote swap into a Camaro as opposed to an LS swap into a foxbody? Just last weekend I went to the drag strip, of the three fox body mustangs there, all of them had LS swaps(2 N/A, 1 twin turbo).
I get that now it's cheaper and easier, but how did this all START? Why did people start swapping the LS first and then it caught on as opposed to the Coyote?

Did you see any 460 swaps? Same size as Coyote, way more power potential.
Nah, a few mopars and the rest were big block Chevy's.
Coyotes are twice as big physically and 10 times the cost, why would anybody use them?
Changing the cams on a coyote costs thousands, changing the SINGLE cam on an LS costs ~300 dollars.
SBC swaps were huge before the LS even existed, after the LS came out it made the older engines irrelevant, but they share the same bolt pattern with the transmissions and motor mounts, so it makes perfect sense to just keep using the LS in place of the older generations of chevy motors.
Ausfag here how come cams are so cheap? Used lsx cams?
Ls1 Master race stock puts out 320rwhp
BROTHER
Because supply and demand as well as the LS only needing one cam while the coyote needing four.
Everybody makes LS cams, they are as common as dirt and cheap as fuck.
Yikes I'm tempted to get a used cam because new here is a rip off.
1300aud for a kit with double row chain and double valve springs is cheapest I can get and shops charge a grand or more to fit it fuck that
