The above pic kinda shoots the ugly comments all to hell. As for the BMW engine...Are they plentiful like the LS, lots of aftermarket parts ? Easy to work on ? I still maintain that for the money you can't beat the power, dependability etc of a LS.

Fugly is for STOCK appearing LSx motors*

Are you actually trying to apply reasonable logic to this hobby?
I was thinking BMW for width and hp to weight ratio.

( I DO agree Charlie, a junkyard 5.3 with a cam and some head massaging could make 400-450hp all day and never break. You couldn't even rebuild a bone stock old school engine for what you would have in the LS.

I'd compare the 5.3's to the old 327's. Cheap and easy to find. Sure it gets the job done but it's no 350 or 400... But you can't tell without looking hard.

I saw this car on my Mustang forum last week.
I LOVE the car. A couple of things I would have done a little different, but very nice. But, not over $220k nice in my opinion.

We were discussing the stock style crate motors like GWs. I have to agree with GWs call they are FUGLY. Now spend a few on bling and they dress up real nice.

Too show that I do like LS motors, I collect what I think are good ideas. The LSX 454 photos are from a classic Chevelle. Who can argue with that engine compartment? I also think LS motors with a nice sheet metal intake look great. If I dont put a BBC in my C3 Corvette it will be an LSX 454R with efi. Who can argue with 770hp @ 7100rpm.
