If I had unlimited funds and it would fit this engine in the front of my pickup. 150 LBS and 160 HP.  The sound is incredible .

What does it cost?

SAAB had a nifty little V-4 in their cars for years....probably made 1/2 the HP this does.....

I went and looked at that bike this weekend after following its construction for a few years now. They basically take an LS engine and cut it in half.

EL ES JUAN SWAP!

All my buddies are putting LS3s in their classic pickups 63-67 C10s.  I think it would be fitting for me to stick one in the mini truck.. 12 000USD though..

$12k for just the motor? What does the whole damn bike cost?

No wonder Honda motor swaps are so popular, more HP for 1/4th the money.
