motor is fried.....agian. ok so i just had the top end of my motor rebuilt after i fried both headgaskets. my bottom end was left alone because agianst my better judgement i didnt replace the whole motor. now i have fried the bottom end 2 weeks after getting my motor running agian. 
so since im gonna be rebuilding the bottom end i figured i should go for something that has a bit more power to it and is alot stronger. i have been researching on summit for rebuild kits for the lt1 and there are hundreds. im at a loss at what to do at this point and would love some input from anyone willing. last thing is money is a factor.

So the plan as it sits right now is pull the motor and trans and rebuild using forged pistons and a slight bore. See if I can't pull some more power. Maybe a small cam.
