Nothing specific against the LS. I've gone down that thought process as well.Ameri-barra, haha! What makes you prefer an LL8 over LS?
I've always enjoyed a straight 6 when I owned one though. Typically smooth and torquey
AND a straight 6 is what came in there! OH aaaaaand isn't the 1,2,3f etc toyota family basically a 40s or 50s GM engine?
plus I'd expect marginally better fuel economy from a 270-290 HP 4.2 vs 5.3+ V8
