blew my car up Went out havin a little fun last night and what do you know, a rod decides it should exit out of the bottom of my block. Only 50,000 miles on the car to. Anyways, i am planning on by a new short block and a 383 stroker rotating assembly kit. I am in sidney ohio and i was wondering where the closest ls1 speed shop is to me. I am about 45 min north of dayton.
Thanks

That sux man. Sorry to hear it. But sounds like you have a good plan to replace it 
I remember hearing of a good shop in Findley. Don't remember the name though.

We have a used 347 motor with forged pistons & rods ready to go if you need a short block 
It has new bearings & rings of course We also have a 383 Eagle that should be complete in a week or so

thanks for all the responses. I don't really know what went wrong with the car yet. I havn't had much time to deal with it. I am betting on the oil pump. I know that is a known problem. It will be probably about 6 or seven months before i will have the time and money to do everything the way i want to but i am leaning towards the slp 402 stroked block. 
Hopefully this spring i will have a very pissed off car to have fun with.
