Oh there's no doubt the LS is really the perfect package. I really do like them. It's just that they have helped the problem of "taking the easy way out" even more. We were already plagued with people having little imagination in this hobby. Now it's even worse.
Now you'll see the demise of the good old Gen 1 four bolt valve cover Chevy small block. And I hate that, because for looks, they are hard to beat. Just beautiful little motors.
Also, now you'll see less of the old school stuff like early Hemis, early Olds, early Cadillac, Ford Flathead, Buick straight eight and on and on....People will just take the easy way out.
And I'm not begrudging them doing it their way. At least the hobby will continue. I'll never put an LS in anything of mine. Just not gonna happen.
