Default Most badass engine swap of all time?

Let's get a discussion started and possibly give me future plans on what would be the most badass engine swap into a modern day Silverado.

My thought's were something along the lines of an Ls7 even though from what I know that swap is a lot more difficult than most.

What do you guys have in mind? Let's hear it and make it entertaining.

If your talking factory swap's then an LS9. If your talking about a custom engine build its gonna be hard to top.

We have some serious contenders on this site.

2004SSS Is one of my favorites because it's AWD. https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...-build-435934/

USABODYGUARD built a sweet engine as well https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...t=usabodyguard

Flaco builds some fast stuff too but he doesn't post up much of his own stuff any more

Badass as in cool, or the most power?

Big block 700+ cubes would be pretty cool
