I think that would keep the cost reasonable and mass producable

aka LS8?
Thats a great idea, my biggest beef with the LSA is its lack of forged parts, although it should be noted that the LS9 is somewhere in the ball part of 530lbs dry, but that'd be assuming we'd use the LS9 as the base, id be more for using the LSA as a base and just adding forged parts and modifying the engine some to up the horses a few
