Welcome to the Forum!!!!!!!! 
That's certainly a bummer, sorry it happened to you. 
Do you know why it took a powder? Were you racing, doing anything else that might make it understandable that it might go? Just curious. You can ask the guys in C5 Tech AND C6 Tech about which engine platform they recommend. I know I see a lot of the LS3 based strokers discussed, they seem popular and powerful. Best of luck. Hope you enjoy the car and the Forums.
