Hello all.

Great place and people you have here. I came here mainly looking for information, and inspiration. I also come here from necessity.

I have the unfortunate issue of a blown engine in a 2014 C7 Z51. I’ll be looking around for a replacement engine. I’ll also encourage any thoughts on the subject. Thanks and hopefully we’ll see each other on the forum.

Welcome to the forum. For any technical issues, try looking in the C7 Tech/Performance section. To see if any engines are for sale, check the C7 Parts for Sale section. Good luck and hope you get your car up and running again soon.

Welcome to the CF, sorry to hear about your engine. Try the C7 technical section as I am confident you can get many of your questions answered there.

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I have posted in the C7 tech board for thoughts and ideas on a replacement engine. I have just confirmed I will need a complete replacement. If you have any input please feel free to take a look
