Default Difference between LSA USA&Australia?

Hi!
I'd like to ask about difference between LSA engine wich sell in the USA & Australia?
Why am i asking, because in USA it's coast 14000$ USD, but in Australia 10000$ AUD=7200$ USD! 7K$ is a big amount Price for the shipping to Moscow is the same.

I'm trying to find the difference,now i've got only one:
HOLDEN LSA have a black color of charger top
GMPP LSA have a silver color of charger top


Maybe some one knows other differences?
Thank you

That looks like a USA Zl1 camaro engine... But main difference is the upper black lid/intercooler is more efficient.

There will be no difference except that Holden bought in a whole heap of these engines and are selling them into the aftermarket.

That's a good price if you are buying in USD. I don't see any significant difference.

Oil pan is probably different.

They are surplus stock for VF GTS.
Similar body to Pontiac G8.

No, the VF is what you have stateside as the 2014-2015 Chevy SS.

VE is like the Pontiac G8.
