I think it has to do with the piston reversing directions without a power stroke,
but I'm no expert. But, the "wet dog shimmy" is very noticeable.

Every 4 cycle engine regardless of number of cylinders has a non-power
stroke.
How much heavier was that LS1 engine? Perhaps that has something to do with
the shimmy or not.

The LS1 was 15 pounds lighter than an IO-540 - it's Aluminum.

Interesting...does that include weight of radiator and coolant?

It included the radiator, but not the coolant. It used a little less than 2 gallons
of water. However, it only needed 5 quarts of oil, plus 2/10ths for the oil
filter. The prop was 2.5 inches further forward, so I had to compensate with
some ballast to bring the nose weight to normal.
You can't buy an LS1 anymore, so most folks are using the LS3. It's close, but
lots more horsepower.
Frankly, the additional power is a mixed blessing, since you can't use it with
the Vne limits we have.
