Help people with your budget and goals now/future. Without that I say buy a untouched ls3 long block. Sell the head if you don't want to use it. It's been my professional/boosted experience that if your not on the limits of a factory engine; NO ONE builds engines for long term like a factory. That being said, if you blew because you need lower compression then you def need some boosted people's opinions.

You want a dart block,callies crank, pistons and rods balanced from them. Have someone assemble it correctly by checking all clearances and don't look back.

Contact HPR, Thompson, or LME. Talk about your goals, and have them spec out a motor. Do not order some off the shelf junk from summit.
