TheAftermath. For ur LS1 Internal Viewing Pleasure
Sorry to hear about your luck. When my motor let go back in June, I had to get a loan so I can put my stock 408 stroker in. never looked back! Good luck with your new set up!
By the way, I do have a complete stock 98 ls1 block with heads/ intake for sale. All it needs is rod bearings and your back in business. Drop me a pm if your interested.

Sorry to hear about your motor that looks very nasty! I have a longblock LS1 out of my 98 Z28 that was recently a total loss. I have been parting it out locally and have yet to put it on the LSx boards. If interested let me know I am in Miami Fl. A buddy of mine was unable to buy the motor locally so I still have it with trans and computer.

thanks, i'll keep youguys posted about that motor offers, kinda low on funds right now. i'm not to worried about my stroker motor just yet i guess thats all gonna depend on wether on not a beater motor is gonna be cheaper enough to throw to gether and drop in, or I'll push forward towards the stroker. 427 would be nice, just got to find a nice sonic tested LQ4 that would be able to hadnle that, but will see what happens
there is a guy in Spartanburg, SC that owns a shop called PAR. people bring aluminum donovan race blocks down there that are just blown into pieces and he pretty much just reconstructs them and from what he and the customers say its just as good if not better then when it was new. however ls1 blocks are so cheap you'd pry be better off just getting new one. that sucks though.

What caused this? I see notches in your pistons, were these exhaust side only? Did valve break off and cause this? Did you blow head gasket and cause bent /broken rod from hydraulic condition?

Yeah i wasn't spraying at the time. and hadn't for awhile. but when it blew it blew hard. it went when i was on the freeway, good thing it was 300am in the morning. i redlined first and hit 2nd mid way through second starting to let off b/c i was already doing about 100. she went, smoke everywhere, couldn't seen nothin. i was all over the freeway , sliding from the oil pouring out of the motor. it's not any better either when your on BFG drags, finally gain controll of her and coasted her to the side. Suck big time, oil , coolant, peices of metal were falling out everywhere when i came to a stop. the trail of oil from when it happen is still there to remind me of what happen everytime i'm coming back from my ladies house
