I was looking at youtube videos of LS swapped imports, or just V8 swapped imports. I came across a few, they are pretty awesome IMO, though some don't seem like they should be making the sounds they are. But, I'm not really an import fan, if someone were swapping RB26 or SR/KA-20 motors into Camaros, Corvettes, Mustangs, whatever, I would think it would kind of ruin a good package, not to say those motors are bad, just that it takes away the V8 rumble you would expect from one of those cars.
But for certain imports, where the upkeep, or aftermarket may be expensive or limited, is it wrong to swap for a V8 in order to get power that could cost substantially more if the stock motor were built to an equivalent output? I'm not saying it's the best for every application, but if you could get a motor like an LS Chevy and swap it for a KA motor which weighs a little more, yet makes less power stock, would you do that?
I guess I'm just asking opinions of import fans, how do you feel about an import car getting a domestic power plant? Does that ruin the cool factor of the car, or is it cool because it's different? Or easy to maintain? Not trying to debate the different engines being cooler than another, just if it's widely acceptable or not haha.
If this is the wrong place for this, just use it for entertainment value if you find any, I think it's pretty cool.
And such a nerd, haha 
why? because I can.
