Neat-o! Its interesting to note that the LS9 weights 531 pounds dry (and I suppose this is dressed). I cant see to much of difference between this and the LSA so 110 pounds over the LS3 for S/C and D/S (I wonder what the dry-sump system adds compared to the standard oiling system?).

Also I really dig the factory exhaust manifolds, they appear to be really high volume shorty headers.
