Couple of points, while the LS3 is mostly aluminum the liners are steel. The new 5.5 L may benefit from the technology showcased in the new 5.0 Mustang. The car enjoys a sprayed in lining that is more durable and lighter than the pressed in steel variety. As for overheating, I agree it's not an issue but was back when aluminum heads were used on cast iron blocks - that does not apply here
