help with motor i just want to say that im new to this, but i just took my car a part because the piston rings went bad on the motor. since that happen i think im going to go with a little better motor. i was thinking to get like a forged 347 shortblock and use my stock heads for the moment and upgrade the cam and valvetrain and spray like a 150 shot of Nitrous.
I was wondering if anyone knows of a good place were i could a shortblock for a pretty good price, and any ideas or suggestions that would help me. THANKS.

what do you think about this shortblock and would it work with my stock heads?

It works fine with your stock heads. Pretty much any LS1/LS6 shortblock will be just fine with your stock heads.
What you are looking for is a new block with stock crankshaft, forged pistons with rings, forged rods, ARP or katech rod bolts, and a decent set of bearings.
