That's a complete lack of imagination.  Sure, the LS engines are plentiful
and make great power, but they are boring.  They may as well use a Toyota
engine.

I prefer Ford power, but if you don't do a Ford, use something interesting
like a 392 Hemi, BMW V8, etc.  ANY Chevy is just plain boring.

Of course, we've beat this subject to death.

One problem is they are starting with a car that is very sound from a
design perspective.  There isn't much they can do to showcase their shop,
so they tend to resort to stupid mods.
