Default Who all has a motor swap?

Just wondering who all around here has done a motor swap, and if so, to which motor?

I think there are only a handful of aluminum block swaps running around...not that it's any harder/easier, but just curious.

I wish I could vote. I have had my LS1 sitting in the corner of my garage for about a month now. I just dont have the tools, time, or help to put it in right now

Don't feel bad, I've had mine (6.0L LQ4) since the end of March!!! However, I am going up to F-Body Central tomorrow night for the cam, springs, pushrod and pulley install. I'll be that much closer!

I voted the non-stock iron block for my LM7 to LS1 stroker conversion. Should be installed by early August! Guess it is a little premature but hey, I do like the thread.
