Well, at least you know there's nothing left... and can start all new with no worries that you could have saved anything.

Shouldn't the dealer warranty that kind of serious engine failure? I mean, come on! Doesn't GM stand by their products!!! WARRANTY LAWSUIT!!! LOL

Seriously, I'm sorry that happened to you. It's so much easier being the guy looking at the pictures than the person who needs to figure out their next step. Good luck, man!!

Blown engine = Stroker Motor...

Definatly some of the worst ls1 destruction Ive seen...Sorry that happened to ya, but that just means you have the chance to start over and you can go with any setup granted you got the dinero. Unless you can cut the ls1 in half and make it an I4...could be interesting

Good luck with your next step

Take the block in and recycle it. Mine looked pretty damn close to yours when it blew 2 years back. I saved the oil pan and front and rear covers. Everything else was replaced. Now I have a 422ci.
