A buddy and I were talking about random engine swaps, most of which were unrealistic, but it did get me thinking. What's the largest engine you could fit in a Z? I wouldn't expect something outlandish like a Gen 5 Viper engine to fit, but what about a Gen 1? Or the LS7 from the 2015 Z/28? If I'm not mistaken, the LS series is notably smaller for its displacement, comparatively speaking, so that may not be the best example, but I'm just wondering since it's a 427 vs my guess that a lot of people opt for the 350.

No flaming necessary, just passing along thoughts and asking for information from those who know vastly more about the cans and can nots of this platform.
