I believe the aluminum LS3 only weighs about 20lbs less, so the iron lsx would probably weigh more

420 vs 440 (sans accessories)

The whole displacement argument really is irrelevant since dimensionally the LS is a smaller motor


Not really since you can come up with a higher displacement mod motor than the 5.0 that is the same exterior size of the coyote and blow away the 6.2 LS3.

This was a power shootout and the compared an engine with a lot more displacement and I hate to be cliche, but there is no replacement for displacement. it is how the LS is making more power

But the LS motor is still smaller dimensionally. That's exactly what I'm saying.

They had a budget limit. It just costs more to build a Ford motor than an LS since the aftermarket for the LS is so much larger.

But, with equal displacement, a 4V motor would easily outdo a 2V. At what cost though?
