Im unsure on the details, I just caught an episode of HP TV, and some guys from WIlliamsburg Iowa were competing for an ls6. Competition was fastest to swap it into their car and running wins. They won, and the other team was from kentucky, they cracked there block.

Cant find anymore on it, but thought it was pretty cool.

Here are some youtube videos of the swap if anyones interested. Looks like they pulled the old engine and swapped the LS in 31 minutes 57 seconds according to the info on the 2nd video. Impressive.

Is that his shop just north of the Kum & Go on M Ave?

I drive by there all the time, just thought it was a farmer selling used cars on the side.
