Reply #120: Again, apples to apples means that they compare the closest block size and type.

The Chevy didn't HAVE a 5.7 liter V8. It has either a 5.3L V8, a 6.2L V8, or a 6.0L V9. The V9 is obviously out because it isn't apples to apples with the Toyota V8. That leaves either the 5.3L or the 6.2L. Now, simple math, which one is closer to the 5.7L offered by Toyota?

5.7 - 5.3 = 0.4L
6.2 - 5.7 = 0.5L <-- Bigger difference

The 5.3L V8 from the Chevy is the closest comparable engine to the 5.7L V8 from Toyota.
