Default You have $10,000 to spend on a longblock...

Who do you have build it??...and it is going into a 2001 Corvette for road racing only.

What displacement, heads, internals, etc.

402 LS2 stroker ???

And, no charge for install, I will do it myself.

I'm sure you could get a 402 LS2 longblock with some AFR 225's for well under 10k. It's a proven 525 rwhp+ combo depending on cam choice. I'd contact HPE. They gave me a good deal when I bought everything through them.

Road racing engine for 10k? I would go with a 402 LS2 with a nice heads and cam setup. You could get it done for 10k or less since you're installing it yourself. There are so many good brands of heads out there. If I had to chose I would go with either ET performance or AFR's. I can't tell you what cam to go with because I'm not sure on your final setup. But since you are roadracing the car I would guess something that makes great power throughout the rev range (duh right?) I would look into A&A corvette if I was in your shoes.

I had the equipment I'd buy all the pieces and assemble it myself so I could make sure that all my clearances are as I want them to be. I'd build the largest possible ls1 with an aluminum block 402 or bigger depending on what is out there (haven't looked as I could only dream of building such an engine). get the best flowing heads I could find and a nice size cam to match it.

Why not have your engine built by the same professionals who build the C6.R, CTS-V.R and GTO.R engines? I'm proud to say we sponsor the board now, so give us a call.

You could probably get an LS7 longblock for $10,000. Call W2W or Futral.
