The LS series of motor is better in every possible way other than simplicity and entry cost.
Although, the simplicity argument can be debated. I think LS motors are far simpler than traditional.
Although I have much love for the LS series, I want to maintain some semblance of the original feel of the car and plan on sticking with a small block.
If power and reliability are the goal, the LS is FAR beyond the regular small block. You can build 500-600 hp mills for a few grand.
