    WTB - DMC-12 With LS Swap

    Looking to buy a DMC-12 which has gone through the LS swap. Prefer an automatic (if possible). Looking for one with a nearly flawless body. Cash in hand ready to move forward.

    Where are you located?

    You know that there are only 2 (maybe 3) in North America and I can't see either of them selling.

    No-one is to stone anyone, even, and I want to make this absolutely clear, even if they do say "carburetor"

    Good luck on the automatic. An LS mated to an automatic is a good way to make small parts out of big parts.

    Assuming money is no object, you can go right ahead and pay someone to figure out how to swap in an LS engine and a modern automatic transmission, and then to do that for you. It will involve lots of fabrication of custom parts. You can go as fast as your wallet allows.

    HAH. Just throw enough cash around and you'll get what you want?

    All the LS1 swaps were done through months of trial and error, custom fabrication, and above all, dedication.

    You want one? Build it yourself.
