I was wondering that as well. Does anyone know what a 2.0 Boxer weighs? Quick google search didn't find much. The LSX platform is surprisingly light..

The intake isn't connected to a filter... Does this thing even function?

I'd say it would weigh roughly twice as much as the current boxer engine. Another problem is that the LS engines aren't horizontally opposed, so you will lose the super low center of gravity.

It's definitely not running yet, but it looks like they've made it through the difficult parts.

The EJ-22 weighs 250 lbs and an LS1 weighs 385. You could probably make up for the center of gravity by getting rid of the 3 inches of wheel gap those cars have.

It's a LS2 ~450lbs
