Yeah, why not? That would be bad f*ckin ass!! Maybe we could drive it to walmart and hit up mcdonalds on the way back!! But really, I wholeheartedly approve of a SC LS2 lawnmower.

a stock 2g DSM T25 or a stock 1g probe GT turbo looks like it would work great on a lawnmower

Fixed.

Still, it'd be cool.

The trick would be for Kelly to salvage the meat and potatoes from a Spirit RT and swap them into the '89 Spirit. Talk about a sleeper.

Depends on whether you have supplies laying around or not.

I guess most people just aren't like me... I like seeing an old beater being brought back to life, just like I enjoy seeing an old, beat up pipe restored to usable condition, when others would just discard it...
