Depends on all the details. What kind of power you are going to try and make? What you use the car for? Budget? The lsx is definitely heavier.

The lsx will weigh quite a bit more then the standard 80 lbs that a iron ls style engine weighs over an aluminum. It just depends on hp level, useage, and preference for the right block.
