Guest XR09 Guests Posted 13/03/10 01:11 AM Share Posted 13/03/10 01:11 AM Will fit in anything you want. Escort, cortina, capri have all been done, xd/e/f falcons, ive even seen one mid mounted in a ford focus.That would be scary, and hot! resting your elbow on a turbo. besides the fact it would suck your cloths off.

You've got a better chance of fitting the LS1 6L into most lightweight cars. On a BMW forum, one guy managed to cram the Corvette motor into a 3 series with space left over (for a supercharger!). There was a youtube video of an early 80's Corolla (back when it was actually RWD) with an old Expensive Daewoo 5.7L in it - now that's got power to weight.
