Used LF3 Could Be The Perfect Crate Motor For Your Transverse-Engined Project Car - GM Authority (blog)
Not sure if you would ever get the FWD balance and stability in some of the others cars with this much power. It really needs engineered in. I would much rather fit an engine like this to a RWD car like an older 78 Malibu or a rwd Fiero if you could work out the issues of heat in the back as well as where to put the intercoolers. How do you get this, to talk to any modern GM car. All the auto makers reverse engineer all the telemetry data that could possibly be stored in it. The first auto maker that does this, will be the darling of the performance world. While this has been brought up on nearly every generation of vehicle nearly all have been figured out or things have been offered to help adapt. Also other tuners have offered services to tune the computers to the engine. GM generally uses the same computer with only a different flash per each car. Tuning of late and making things work has really been easier than ever to adapt but with so many things controlled it does take a little more work. Even things like the radio are now tied to the computer. Source: gmauthority.com
