SO chuckles...... the test was rigged in favor of the 5.slow........... with a used engine in the parts department they must have thought it needed the pistons to make it worthy compared to a LS crate engine, oh yes and stock CNC ported heads so much more make the build they cost a extra $200........... andit was not a LSX but a common crate engine with the lame LSA stock cam.... the head work to the coyote was in the form of four friggin cams...COUNT EM. And theres more Priuses than mustangs ..... your point.

Sticking up for a rubber band, overhead cammed , Much more expensive to build 5.0 is not going to get you much for friendliness, sure they don't show the LS costs, sure they could have done them up more, sure they could use stock slugs on the coyote and work the heads, and the LS could have been used with a LSA conversion.........for that cost it so could have kicked the Coyotes arse in terms of money spent, and really blown it out of the water with FI for the LS for that cost as their money is just parts. But hey they rigged it for the coyote mostly.............
