Some of us had no real choice due to our stinkin emission laws..
I had a 428 cobrajet ready to go in.
But I had to pass emissions, noise etc, so as you can we imagine that was it for that. The Windsor at that time wasn't gonna make it through either.
So, what to do??
Without cutting and widening the chassis the 5.4 wasn't gonna go.
The LS was the same dimensions as the Windsor and it went in like it was meant to be.
Would I change it now you ask ??
No freakin way !! It is an awesome bit of kit..
And I'm sure anyone who has seen and heard my car is likely to agree..

I agree what you want isn't always what you get, in saying that I have friends that have Holden's and you would be surprised at how many run Ford 9" Ford toploader only cause Holden was to tight to bring in their top products, on my list Holden is way at the bottom for reliability #1 Ford cause having owned quite a few never let me down, #2 Chrysler face it top Fueler's copied the best but that's my opinion, and what you want and use, is what's practical available and affordable, I mean if we could get a Ferrari v12 twin turbo's who knows?
