V8 S2k

[BKgen®]

ls1 doesn't weigh much at all, i have picked one up by myself, im a big guy ( 6"2 332 very muscular ) but picking up a motor by myself...a 400'ish hp motor at that.

Yeah i was about to say, it doesn't look very big. Plus, isn't it an aluminum block?

If they can keep it really tucked up to the firewall, it shouldn't throw off the balance much from stock. The LS is no longer than the F22, just a bit wider. But when you look at an S2K to begin with, the entire engine is behind the strut towers. Great candidate for a swap like that really.

V8's get a bad rap for being huge and heavy, but in what other configuration can you get 5.7 or more liters of displacement, nearly three times that of an average 4 cylinder, while only being slightly wider and somewhat heavier? In an S2k, having instant power no matter what rpm would be well worth the few extra pounds.
