What exactly is it about the LS engine that's so good? Why are people swapping them into Jeeps, Porsches, and even Miatas? The LS is legendary, but how did it get its reputation?

To answer that question – and eventually many others – the guys from /DRIVE have launched a new series called /ENGINEERED that's intended to give enthusiasts a better understanding of the engineering that goes on behind the scenes to create the products we know and love.

This week, they talked to Tom Nelson, the owner of Nelson Racing Engines to learn what it is that makes the LS so special. NRE specializes in building high horsepower engines, giving Nelson a unique understanding that he shares with viewers.

He goes pretty in depth, so if you're an LS fan, sit back and enjoy the next 19 minutes of V8 goodness.
