OP: I'm very particular about my car. I've done a good bit of my own work, the stuff I opted not to handle went to Joe who has done quite a bit for me: Clutch, headers, cam, timing chain, springs, pushrods, trunion upgrade, meth kit. He meets his price targets to the penny, work is done on time and is always done right. It's worth a call.

GM Performance Crate Motor
I just went down this road. My LS6 died on track so I went with a well known shop to get a "built" motor....in spite of my friends telling me to go crate. At the end of the day a built motor is equal to or more than the cost of a crate. Let's face it, GM builds a great motor that can take a beating and has a warranty. The Performance Division LS motors have great power and are reliable, plus you never have to wonder about whether the builder/ shop cut corners or had a bad day.

they do not go anywhere near the mileage of cast though. rings just take too much of a beating
