We all knew it was only a matter of time that the LS lovers, would grab a Subaru BRZ and rip its heart out and replace it with a light weight alloy LS2 engine.

The guys at Weapons Grade Performance appear to be the first to attempt it.

Once this build is complete and bedded it, it should still be a fun car to drive with heaps more torque and power than the original boxer engine that was removed.

I remember thinking about how wide the bay was when I first looked in a standard car... I guess sooner or later LSxs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWW0-gQMWCc) and Rotors (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_7Y2c_h2Cw) end up in EVERYTHING! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCpq_Qciu4g)...


and the last link is probably worth checking out

Not much at all , the ls engine is alloy. If anything it might even be lighter
