Also, with 20 to 25k as your budget, your budget is your limiting factor. You're not in low mile LS3 territory with that budget.
Even tho the ls motors are pretty reliable motors , I rather be safe then sorry finding a vette with 30k or less miles especially since I’m going to race it , I want the motor to last as long as possible .20-25k CASH can get you into a 35k miles or lower vette , it’s just hard finding one in the orange color .

How long the motor lasts will be 100% in how you care for it, not how many miles it has. You can blow up a 20k mile motor just as quickly as a 70k mile motor.

Personally I would buy a higher mileage car an put the savings towards a blower and other mods.
