Did you have a budget in mind and goals?

Are you looking to go up in cubes? I like SDPC, but TSP has some killer deals, especially that LS3 based 427. Sick.

If youre staying the same displacement, just have your motor hones, crank polished, then get new rods and pistons. Will be much, much cheaper than a new shortblock.
