It's a BS article and build. They wasted money in unnecessary parts. The rods and pistons didn't have to be changed out on the Coyote, and they used NSR cams but bought aftermarket springs? Dumbasses.............SMH. The test was rigged totally in favor of the LSx. I like both engines, but FFS, if you wanna compare a 5.0L engine to another, then do it against one of similar displacement, 5.3L LSx. Start with that and go from there. The 6.2L has the tq advantage of course because of the longer stroke. Longer stroke and more displacement = more tq. And to top it off, they used CNC ported heads on the LSx and didn't do ANY head work to the Coyote. Pathetic really............. I like both of them but this test was total BS. And before any swingers chime in and say, "The LSx is lighter" I don't consider 12lbs anything to mention, really. The Coyote is physically bigger, yes. But you gotta give it to Ford for making a dohc V8 that's just as lightweight as a LSx.
