long story short . . . HYDROLOCKED!!!!! lol so i'll be buying a forged 347 or forged 383 and looking into who makes better pistons, rods etc etc. reason for forged is because my buddy was tellin me the rods are the weakpoint on these engines and i'm starting to believe that but then again that was alot of water lol engine wont be seeing any nitrous at all EVER nor a power adder. i'm hopin to put a nice size cam in it but nothing to aggressive i think (but who knows i might change my mind) the FAST isn't worth it in my opinion so i wont be buying one of those ($1200 for 10 rwhp???? not worth it if you don't have the money to throw around. i'll rather spend it on the block itself) and i already have a good idea on the heads i'll be purchasing, the 799 heads with new valve train and sodium filled valves. so any suggestions would be good and i'm lookin to buy the engine in the next 5-8 months from either Texas-Speed or Scoggin Dickey Parts Center.

ALOT of rain water lol
pitch black out and look at it this way, if i would've opend my doors my car would get water in it lol the second i entered the puddle i didn't see i was done. oh well **** happens lol
lol i laughed at the one to
lol haha dude the way i see it???? i got the life out of that engine! i'm sittin here laughing about it like whatever. it's gonna cost money for the engine i know and it wont be cheap but it's worth it . . . plus i didn't have a car till i was 18 anyway so it's not like i'm not used to walking

Why not a cheap 408 with L92 and LS3 intake?? You save the fast investment and have badass heads for 1 grand! sorry for the loss BTW..

If under a tight budget, a forged 370 could be nice too.

rather have a forged motor with smaller cubes, plus i plan on using my LS6 intake and most of the outer accessories once cleaned up lol remember the U/D pulley is brand new with the oil pump and chain at least . . . but then again i haven't starting taking it apart yet
