I think Jerry's going in the right direction there. I'd like to see an LT5 in a sixties muscle car like the GTO. I can't imagine a more ill handling tailwagger than a Delorean with an LT5. Although here's one with a 4cam twin turbo Lotus V8. Maybe there's hope for the swap.

Let's face it, the LS motors are the modern "go to" package for installing incredible horsepower in any package with four wheels, and for good reason, compact dimensions, and light weight. The LT5 is not the best in either of those two areas.
To me, our beautiful LT5 would be a great choice for dropping into a vehicle where you could actually see the engine, like a hoodless little deuce coupe with a polished LT5 and sixteen little velocity stacks.
