Engine is blown.... Either pull out engine change heads n cam reapir old block or easier to buy same engine around 90k miles with same mods? Which is best route ?

 

 

Depending on what's wrong, if the engine has to come out then it would likely be cheaper to buy one in running condition. Your budget will depend on what is the "best" route. I think we need to know more here, what are your end goals for this? Get it back on the road as cheap and quickly as possible, or are you looking to mod it while it's out/apart?

 

Engine is blown and want to get a corvette engine which is best out the ls1 series of corvettes?. I know some come with 243 heads... but dont know what year to get... I hear is best for the ls1 for 2002 which I have

 

yeah 2002 camaro... I want to get a corvette engine I hear some come with 243 heads

 

mod it out as it's apart I want to get a corvette engine heard some come with 243 heads just don't know what years is best out the corvette

 

If you have an 02 LS1 Camaro you basically already have the corvette engine. Only difference is the heads and you can get those from a newer Silverado at the junkyard. Saying corvette just means you spend more money for the same part.

 

define blown.

me personally, i would rather freshen up my own motor and know everything that has been done. than buy someone else's mystery motor.

 

So here's the update, but I'm thinking they are going to consider the car totaled. Cheapest replacement engine as they no loner make LS1 is $10,250 plus tax fluid and labor. Plus there pas some collision damage to the cars front left.
