my 98 camaro z28 just threw a rod through the side of the block while also taking out my starter and oil pan. this car was completely stock but i had plans of heads, cam, intake, long tubes and other small upgrades this winter with the car. now with this new predicament, im wondering if should upgrade to a different ls engine rather than replacing it with another ls1? would there be any other real benefits besides maybe a little more displacement? the car is just a street car that occasionally goes to the track. the car will be getting the bottle as i have the old setup from my 00 trans am. im mostly just looking for some other thoughts as to how i can build this car back up. since the car will be down for the winter now, i can easily dump 8k into it to build the car right. thanks

5.3 or 6.0 build shouldnt be too pricey.

This is what happened to my LS1, so I went with forged 6.0. Thompson Motorsports had some great deals, and it worked out great

now i havent done much homework yet, but is the ls2 swap pretty straight forward? keep with all the oem accessories from the ls1? electrical issues?

its fairy straight forward. what you need isnt a big deal from what i remember.

best bet to get a complete ls2 then rather than scabbing together parts from the ls1 and a short block?
