any honda is universial and use about 7 diffeant bolt sizes...there are the easist by far....other then that andything under 1992 is easy.

id like to see an LS2 go into a cavi that would be sweet but i dont think those are very cheap unless you find a vette that was crashed in the back

it was the whole drive line to a cobra mustang. ran 12.9 in the quarter on a stock motor with only a cai and custom exhaust. even stock headers.
to much wheels spin they said. bled the tires to like 32 psi and had 4 people in the car..
my swap how about a srt4 into a 1st gen neon. one adapter the rest is drop in and bolt up.

Do you have any pics of it? I'd like to see that, I like the 1st gen neons minus the motor

I know of two guys in Edmonton that have done a blown 302 into a Miata.

A good friend of mine told me a long time ago that he knew a guy that put a 5.0 in a Miata and I never believed him until I looked it up on the web! I think that is one of the best swaps, I wasn't even thinking about the Miata!

i think you mean an LS 1 ....and they are found in other things besides corvettes.

LS2 went in the vette after the LS1 did. the ls2 is also found in GTOs and some SSRs.
