As an owner of a 2014 and now a 2015, I was dumfounded when I found out, here she (AJ126) is... View attachment 9946

That is ghetto as hell. They actually incurred what I imagine are significant costs to engineer that "C" shaped stupidity at the end of the block. I would have been cheaper to just clear use the same V-8 block and just not use a piston and seal or not bore out the bottom of the cylinder. What craziness.
While I'm content with the 375hp/tq V8 power, it's a shame they never offered a supercharged 5.0 V8 version with ~500hp/460tq... that would have been awesome.
Dunno if a swap is feasible, or if anyone has done it, but that would - IMO - be hugely preferred over the LS swap.
Not sure how much a quality second hand SC V8 out of a RRS or RR would be nor how hard a swap would be... But it sounds interesting.
