That is some crazy story....and one all of us at one time or other have dealt with ...(in some similiar light) ...at least us over 40 guys...
Best of luck with it.
If it were me? I'd probably drop a used ls1 in it and be done with it...enjoy the new GTO...
Either that or a built long block installed by the high rep. tuner who will warranty his work....

That is precisely what i am going to do... No big hurry..
The GTO is a great DD.. I'll leave it alone...
My Z28 however "should" be up and back on the road @ the first of the year.
I have a friend that is building a 402 for his FRC... he is selling me his shortblock w/ 54K on it...
I still have my 232/236 595 601 cam, some new LS2 heads ( 06 GTO), bolt on's.. etc...it should be a good combo @ a relatively low cost..
Thanks for the comment buddy...

Good luck,
