Sorry, but what's an LS in this context? EDIT: I guess it is this standard GM V8 engine.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_LS-based_small-block_engin

  Yes, sorry, that may need more explanation. In some circles "put an LS in it" is a meme bordering on cliche. GM has historically been willing to sell parts to anyone for any purpose, kind of the opposite of what Tesla is doing. The classic US automakers (especially GM) have a reputation of being friendly to the shadetree mechanic. So for gearheads ICE powertrains are an easy swap with lots of aftermarket and manufacturer support. Electric drivetrains are more exotic and have many question marks. As we get more mass market electric vehicles from the likes of GM electric swaps (and maintenance!) become much more approachable. I'm looking forward to seeing electric motors on a site like this: https://www.chevrolet.com/performance-parts/crate-engines https://www.chevrolet.com/performance-parts/crate-engines
