I would like to see something a little different. An Olds 400, Cadillac 4.1, even a Ferd coyote motor would be o.k. with me. God knows there's plenty of Chevy engines rolling around in blue oval chassis'.

I personally like this swap best of all.

There are plenty of those swaps you mentioned around. Heck, I saw tons of different swaps this past weekend at two large shows in Vegas. The LS is a great engine, and so is the SBC, no matter how boring it may seem.
