Anyone ever put a ls lsx in a c body

I decided a bluesmobile should have a 440.
I even toyed around about a stroked 400 to 499.

But decided that to stay true to the car and movie that I needed an actual 440.

Damn no turbo lsx on someone else's dime. Start a thread we will follow.

OP, depending on what year and application that 440 was, you're probably looking at a great motor to throw a couple ebay turbos on. Jake and Elwood would be proud.

Going to do a leakdown test then change the oil pan over and check it out to see if anythings done to it or its stock.

Stan......it couldn't be any better. LT1, nice big spot between the seats for a mobile entertainment center.
Seriously though, body looks rust free for a MD car.
