The LSA is at a disadvantage here since GM saved money by not going all forged internal like they did w/ the LS9 and Ford did w/ the 5.4 and 5.8.

I don't understand why GM didn't forge that motor. That's one of my disappointments with their approach.

Another thing is I don`t know why they don`t stroke the new 5.0 motor and forge it. Its a much better motor than the old 4.6, 5.4, 5.8 architecture.

That's simple. They can't. The 5.0 is at the maximum and cannot be stroked and possibly can't even be bored:

Because a fully populated Coyote crankcase is packaged tightly as coach airline seating-the already abbreviated piston skirts come close to the crankshaft counterweights-there is no room left for stroke increases.
