God damn, I didn't even consider it because I didn't imagine it would be OBD-II compliant. ><. Think how badass a S/C-ed or tt LS1 S14 would be 
lol.
lol.thats depends on where you live.
in some areas you can not swap in a motor with more cylinders then the car was available from teh factory with.
example, you can legally put a ls1 in a v6 camaro, cuase it was available stock.
but a 240 was only available with a 4, so you cant even put in a 6.
depends on where you live and how strict they are. sometimes you can get special approval.
all these motors are the same series sorta. parts are interchangeable for the most part between all but the ls7. i think they are working on that though, my info may be a little out of date.
ls1 is 5.7
ls2 is 6.0
ls6 is 5.7 z06 motor
ls7 is 7.0 z06 motor
lq series is 4.8(iron or aluminum block),5.3 (iron or aluminum block), or 6.0 (iron or aluminum block)
there is a new 6.6, but i think thats not the same series, i think its considered a big block.
ps, i like american muscle too.

I have a lt1 im putting in my 240. Just got to get the internals and assemble it. And pick out a tranny. it will make 350hp to the wheels, and about an estimated 400lb ft of torque. Not too bad considering i picked up the block for 75 bucks, vortec heads for 100, and forged internals for 230. oh and the t10 tranny was only 350 for a rebuilt one. Thats under 800 for the powertrain and its balls fast

actually i already have an ls7 motor pretty much brand new i pulled it of and brand new crashed corvette thats why im asking its pretty much the whole front clip. my uncle spunn out and spilt the car pretty much in half. the car still started up but the back is gone lol
You'll need an LS7 and an S13. Anything else you need me to hold your hand through?
Hey Check out www.hinsonsupercars.com They have kits for s13's and s14's and RX-7'S to drop in LS6 AND 7 motors. I considered it because I work at a Cadi dealership and we often pull LS7 motors from CTS-V's that customers want to replace with mail order strocker motors and other customers blow the motors and don't have the mone to fix them go figure you buy a $65,000 toy and then can't afford to repair it cause warranty won't cover it. Well I hope that web site helps.!!!

3.8 GM motors are based on the 3.8 liter buick block. capable of some great numbers, but they have been known to have oiling problems.
