75 shot wet plus 224/228 .581/.588 cam stock fuel pump and I think my oil pump went bad cause it was producing some low pressure. **** got seized up and I can't turn the engine over by hand.

Yeap, that engine got worked hard. Why own a LSx car if you're not going to drive it? I wouldn't say the engine was beat on at all. Besides, it ate too much oil anyways, it was time for it to die.
