Default Need advice on shop/engine. Threw rod in my LT4.

I blew a tennis ball size hole through my oil pan last week and all the oil drained out along with several pieces of metal.. I think that might be a bad thing. Any suggestions on a good shop to rebuild my LT4? 383 sounds good but I don't know where to begin. PLEASE give me your suggestions!!! :cry :confused:

Well, the guy that did mine took a long time and he's here in Oklahoma.

BTW, how the heck did you put a hole in your oil pan that big?!?

I would recommend for you to take it to Speed Works in Lewisville. They do a great job.

Oil pan hole usually mean that connecting rod broke, which 99.9% of the time you need also need a new engine block.
