If the BBC is a rat, and the SBC is a mouse, I guess that puts the LS right square in the middle.....a Gerbil. Any way you look at it, they're all filthy rodents  ;D

Well,  I specifically chose the Lemming due to the folklore that they will blindly follow each other right off a cliff.  It seems most chebbie really suffer from "me too" syndrome. That's what sets us Ford guys apart. :)

I had a lemming when i was a kid. My dad catched it and gave it to me
it was an mean evil little bastard all it did was standing on its rear legs
spitting and probably cursing in lemming language ;D And trying to bite me
with its big front teats. Dont remember what happened to it, probably our
cat Nisse killed it.

It is funny to hear here in Sweden mouthbreathers telling
everyone to convert to a CSB/ LS beacuse you can buy parts
everywhere. Beacuse they read it in some US car magazine
Ehmmm NOOOO you cant, not here. If i need 55 De Soto parts
 AMC 67, CSB or whatever i have to order it

In following Alan’s train of thought. One day driving home from work I was stopped in traffic in the wagon. One of the guys in the prop dept. at work pulls up next to me with his window down and yells, “man that thing is so cool, you should drop an LS in there”
I admit it, I cussed.

    Heo ,
       There is a "Swedish encampment" here in Orange California responsible for sending a large amount of LS engines to Sweden. The group changes and it is Lief who is here now. One of the others is Jahne and one guy who hasn't been here for years was Prolo or Pirolo ( last name I think). They also send older American cars back. They just bought a white '67 Ranchero from me and it is on it's way there now.

Monkey See-Monkey-Do for sure but that also applies to the big and smallblock Chevs being swapped into all manner of cars in past years.
 Chevy is seen as simple and simple people like simple things.

SEMA show was chock full of LS swaps as usual and there was a bunch of parts to disguise them as something else.

I'm aware of that randy. What I'm talking about is they say you can buy parts
that  if you get stranded along the road can buy anywhere to get you rolling
again. No not here , say i need points for a 289 i Order them and have them
next day if i need something for a ls i order them and have them next day
There is a few that specialiced in parts for US cars. But you cant go in to a
random parts store and buy parts for a LS or a 289 or whatever US made
engine. Few of them cant even order parts for them

It's funny how only the chebbie guys do that. I have never, ever seen a Ford engine disguised as anything else. Or a MoPar or BOP either for that matter.

I guess I didn't get a picture of it or my camera broke when I took it, but there was a Cobra kit with a goddamned LS disguised under Gurney Eagle valve covers.
 I told the guy it is like being in the shower in your Thailand hotel when you discover that the "girl" you brought to the room has a penis.
