The engine should not have died with only 8200 miles (what is the car's history of ownership before you bought it?) Who sold you the car? If you have to replace the factory engine, then I would look at aftermarket performance shops who offer forged LSX engines (enhanced versions of the LS series engines).

It may be under warranty, do you have any GM dealers near you?
