Huh??  The 100LS was a total POS, the carb and fuelish injected versions
couldn't be adjusted to save your life, the inboard brakes were
problematic, the cooling system didn't cool anything, electrical gremlins
everywhere and head gaskets that were a maintenance item.  They were also
complete rust buckets.  The ONLY thing the POS 100LS has in common with a
V8Q is the purdy rings.
There is a reason that the few examples left out there are all low
mileage, those are the ones that didn't got to the Junk Yard but got put
away in the corner of the garage instead.  The one in the link has 62,000
miles, that's HIGH mileage for a 100LS, most of them didn't make it that
far!
It's been 20 years or so (thankfully) since I last worked on a 100LS, I
could be wrong but I seem to recall the "wood" accents were contact
paper, maybe just the cluster and wheel.

I was nothing more than an almost innocent bystander.
