Hot take: LS swaps are the easy button that's making builds boring.

Don't get me wrong - the LS is an incredible engine. But when every S13, Miata, and E30 gets the same treatment, we're losing what made these cars special in the first place. There's a reason Porsche didn't stuff a small block in the 911.

→ Why everyone defaults to LS (it's not just power)
→ The hidden costs of going heavy up front
→ Turbo alternatives that keep the soul intact
→ When LS actually makes perfect sense
→ Platform-specific swaps that work better

Save this before you commit to another cookie-cutter build. Your car's character matters more than dyno sheets.
