Yea, that's kinda weird... most people would call that cam only, but he means stock internals with a cam(oxymoron, yea)..

I'm pretty sure that's the same guy that swapped the whole drivetrain/interior of a corvette into a civic creating the "civette"

Why would you waste your time putting an LS whatever into a STI when it is already a capable performer as is?

If I remember the story correctly, the wrx had a broken motor and it would have been more expensive for him to get a new wrx motor, so instead he opted to get a larger displacement, more durable iron LSX based block.

Also, the guy that's building it just likes throwing LSX motors into anything he can possibly think of.
This is all inside of a civic, a whole vette drivetrain swap(same guy):

If you're bored, here's a whole thread devoted to the build with lots and lots of pictures scattered throughout

The car was actually featured on a big GM magazine on the front cover, as well as being allowed into GM spots in big car shows.

I know what he means but its still not a stock motor, period.

Interesting project though.
