I too wondered about LS's.
They're pretty cheap and readily available here, as they were fitted to local Commodores (Both LS1 and LS3), and from next year we'll see them back in the Camaro.
There's loads of aftermarket performance products for them including several different supercharger kits for well over 700hp (LS3).
But making them fit is an issue. And in stock form without any mods, they're not much more powerful than a 4.2 S8 engine (LS3 6.0 - 270kW), though the torque is quite something (LS3 6.0 - 530Nm). But it's taken them 6.0L to get there, so they should have a lot of torque!
The Coyote 5.0 is a cooler engine, with specific outputs matching those of the S8 4.2, and they can be supercharged too. But they're more expensive and quite large - I'm pretty sure they won't fit in a D2 engine bay!
