not all of them, and remember that the LS-1 is only the absolute best example of the V8. Ford's DOHC motors are retardedly huge and heavy, and i'm quite sure the Hemi is a whole lot worse *not a dodge guy*.

as it stands, the 13BMSP is still a helluvan engine (won it's second consecutive International Engine of the Year Award).
I think this pic pretty much says it all....

Just to bring this one back from the grave, I notice that Racing Beat still sells the aluminum housings on their website. If I remember correctly, the dowels between the 13B-MSP and the 13B-REW are different so they cannot be used, but I would like confirmation on that. Otherwise it seems like a cool way to drop ~40 pounds if you're going to rebuild your engine. They're pricey though...
