RX8 LS swap
An employee has been looking for a beater so he doesn’t have to drive his ‘01 1500 all the time, so in searching he’s seen a lot of RX8’s with blown Apex seals for cheap. Like really cheap, but in real good shape.
So yesterday I suggested an LS swap & started looking for info. Turns out there are kits available, so I’ve got him thinking. He found a few complete 5.3’s & 6.0’s & now he’s thinking pretty hard about doing it. Not sure if it will happen, but it’s an intriguing build. |

I had an RX8 before my Camaro. I've got a soft spot for the car but wished it had been more fun to drive poking around town. An LS swap would fix that
