    Default Interesting thought for future Corvette

    Saw a Saturn Sky at out club car show the other day that had an LS3 Corvette V8 motor in it. The guy said he used all GM parts to do the conversion, except for the radiator, which had to be fabricated to fit. Not that I think that GM will do that for a future Corvette, but hey, who would of thunk it? The idea that you could build a smaller, high performing Corvette is not a "are you crazy?" idea. I'd prefer a bit biggerr than Sky size but downsizing does not mean we have to without a V8. This engine didn't look shoehorned into the Sky either. Just food for thought.

    Mallett was putting LS engines into the Saturn and Pontiac 2 seaters as soon as they came out. They have done a bunch of them, and the installation is really pretty easy. I'd guess GM worked with him, or looked over his shoulder. They should have learned something.

    Yes indeed I like it.

    a lot of engineering went into this.
