[Tommy89]

while im on this page, if you dont want to give me the answer and tell me to look up forums then you dont have to reply its just a curious question. will the 2006 LS headlights fit my 2002 LSE?

 

[joegr]

Fit: Yes.
Fit correctly: No.
I leave it to you to search about the gaps.

While i have this thread I have another question, I'm new to the LS, it's my first American car and you guys seem very knowledgable about these cars. My buddy has an e36 M3 motor and I think you guys know where I'm going with this...what do you think? This is just out of curiosity and maybe a potential summer project.

Not a chance. Nothing, including the ABS, the transmission, the dash gauges, the climate control, and on and on would ever work right again.

well that was quick and painful, so what kind of motors would be successful? what broad variety can i look at, mainly ford engines? most american engines? the e36 would of been nice in there.

Again, the answer is search just a little bit here to see why.
The only engines that you will get to work in any decent way in the LS are the 3.0 V6 that's in there now and the 3.9 V8. Even then, converting from the V6 to the V8 is difficult (costly) enough that you might as well sell the V6 LS and buy a V8 LS.
The problem is the level of computer integration and networking in the LS.

you would be much better off buying an M3 with a blown motor and putting the good engine in there
