awhile ago for such a swap.

Hmmm... wonder if anyone ever put a LS6 in a 308/328?   Where's

;-)  Is there a Tubi for a LS6?

I'm always amazed, when comparing my 308 motor to the LS6 motor in my
Corvette, at how small the LS6 is.  I went out and took some rough
measurements.

LS6 - 27 x 22 x 22 (inches)
308 - 30 x 27 x 27 (inches)

Motor only, not bellhousing.  LS6 includes the plastic covers.   

Take them

off, and the measurements would be less.  308 does not include the  

headers,

which would have increased the measurements.  Measurements are  

approximate.

Of course, your results may vary.

LS6 is much smaller.  Twice the displacement.  Twice the horsepower.

It may be a pig, but I still love my 308.

Larry, focus on the external dimensions and weight of the engine  

not the

displacement!!!

That's the point with the 944T. It only had 3.0 liters, but  

dimensionally

it
was immense and not so impressive.

Modern engines are much smaller and lighter/bhp of output. Well, some
modern
engines.

The BMW inline 6 used in so many models is also huge and heavy.

Hey Gang -
Remember the early Ferrari V12's? IIRC, a 250 Ferrari is 250cc's per

cylinder making it a 3.0L engine. I have a hard time picturing  

250CC's but

3L is 50% larger than a 2L Coke bottle. Getting several hundred HP  

from

such a small displacement alwaysed amazed me. Must have been pretty  

small

pistons though. If my math was better (or if I wanted to spend the  

time to

figure it out) I could probably calculate the OD of the
pistons --

;-)

A local mechanic has been stuffing late model Corvette V8s
into 944s. Fits quite well.

He has to cut a bit off the front springs because the V8 is
lighter.

One very important thing to remember is that displacement does  

*not*

equate
to engine size.

Many of the cute, little, impressively "efficient" powerplants are
secretly
massive and heavy.

Remember that 944 Turbo?

It seemed so "high tech" next to a Ferrari until you photographed  

the

engine bay near a tape measure.
