That's funny,
Swapping old school 350 Chevs into series 1 and series 2 XJ6s used to be pretty common back in the day - cheap horsepower and better reliability than the old 4.2 XK block.
I've driven a few LS1 powered Commodores and Statesmans. Low down torque isn't that strong - about on par with the S8. Modded they're much better, my mates Monaro with headers, exhaust, throttle body and tune was very torquey. T56 was still slow though...
I think LS3's are much better - need to borrow my mate Luke's SS!

2009 Volvo XC90 V8 R Design - has a louder more obnoxious exhaust than the S8, sounds great! Love this thing - Q7 was double the price, and certainly not double the car!
