1970 GTO Version 2.0

I've no brand loyalty either. I think that when building custom cars with the goal of improving performance, every option should be considered. While it may seem that "its just another Lsx engine under the hood," the truth of the matter is that when you go to local shows, there are very few, if any, LSx conversions. The whole LSx conversion trend is still very much in the early adapter stage if you were to consider it from the perspective of a product life cycle. While certainly not the "bleeding" edge, it is far from common.

Andrew,
You are absolutely right about this one. People see the LSx builds on the internet and assume that they are everywhere. As you know, this is not the case. The last show I had my car in last year had at least 400 cars, and I think my car was the only one with an LSx motor. You are seeing quite a few in magazines these days, because that is the hot trend in higher-end cars (for a reason). Thses cars do not reflect the average hotrod or musclecar out on the road or in the shows today.

Fact is that an LSx motor has a lot more going for it than a 60's or 70's Pontiac motor, whether some people want to agree with it or not. Good choice, Andrew, and I look forward to seeing this car done again.
