There is a LOT to like about the LS engines.
As Stuart noted, they are far less prone to leaks, and getting them running in retrofit applications has become very much a "plug-and-play" affair, with more support in the aftermarket all the time. Not to mention that (for the aluminum ones) you are getting an all-aluminum engine, which is saving a lot of weight off the nose of the car.
All that being said, I'm not using one on my current project, LOL...too much invested in my current plan. If I ever get around to building up my other 69, I'll definitely use an LS.
Now, if I was building up a vintage mustang, I'd be just salivating over the idea of getting my hands on that new 5.0 DOHC motor.
Can't wait to see who does a retrofit first!
