Alternator, AC, power steering, things of that nature. The RB doesn't have them, but the VQ does, as does the 1UZ. A long block sitting next to a short block is obviously going to look bulkier.

even without the accessories you can see how much bulk the external cams in the heads add. I can see that DOHC engines will make more power, but if you cant fit them in the car its pointless.

Even with them there is a huge size difference. The alternator hugs pretty tightly. As does the PS pump
here's fully dressed with ac compressor on there too

This thread is all over the place, people down playing Honda's and LSx like there's no tomorrow.


Maybe when all you pro's get enough skill and money you can do your own swap.
