GM’s gen 3 small block V8 (commonly called the LS) is known around the world as the engine to drop into your car when you need power, torque, and reliability in a basic package. Today’s 1.5 ton Studebaker Van is not the last car I’d ever expect to have small block power, but it is […]
I love it when folks are realistic in the asking price for their old heap of metal. And this next car is a really cool old piece of iron…it even has a modern fuel injected Chevy Vortec V8 (probaby an LM7 or other iron block 5.3) shoved under the hood, but the seller isn’t asking […]
This next car comes as a tip from SecondMouse who writes: Ordinarily, car people would generally run screaming away from an S10 offered for sale. But this one is, well, different. Some maniac stuffed a 2012 6.2 liter Chevy V8 in it, along with a 6 speed automatic and a few other goodies. This might be a fun ride for someone with an uncle in the tire business. Find this 1998 Chevrolet S-10 in Clute, TX via craigslist offered at $8500.
Personal two door coupes sold by the truck loads in the 60’s-70’s-80’s, but are hardly produced any longer in 2018.

With Dodge putting out Hemi V8 engines ranging from mild to wild levels of horsepower, it is somewhat odd (in a good way) to come across a Chevy LS swapped Dodge truck. The amount of LS swapped cars and trucks advertised across the internet these days is truly staggering. There is seemingly not a car […]
If you are a Ford purist, you may want to skip this article. The ubiquitous Chevy LS engine has a way to finding its way into just about any car brand/model with four wheels. Seeing that DT readers take to engine swaps like bees do to honey we have today’s featured pony car with a […]
Marketing is the art of making something appear to be what it is not. Let’s take Sport Beans, for example. They are not sporty, or even beans — in fact they are jelly beans from the makers of Jelly Bellys, and they are no more appropriate for an athlete to consume than a diabetic…but that […]
It seems today’s car enthusiasts are a bit nostalgic for the station wagon. Domestic automakers used to offer station wagons in many flavors. In the early 1990’s, Ford introduced the Explorer and the SUV craze took hold leaving wagon fans in the hands of import brands Mercedes and Volvo. Malaise era cars came with smog […]
