Thanks man. Pretty sure she ate a main bearing. Little knock and some shavings in the oil. Popped the valve covers and the top end looks fine. Oil pressure is good.

That said I am sure it will not last. so she is parked.

Now what do do. Buy a stroker crate engine or build one. hmmmmmmm

Default Build the ls3

As far as I know, the LS3 is the base building block for a strong engine. Turn that into your stroker. Id imagine Buying a crate stroker will cost a lot more. You could make that ls3 top/bottem end exactly to what you want and how you want it to behave for less.
a stroker corvette, sounds fun.
