Engine search Well I found out today that it's time to start looking for a new engine, so I'm enlisting you pros for guidance 
. A little background: '03 supercharged vette, mayhemII cam,RPM tranny, yank stall, and a lot of $$ into the body. I'm not a racer so I don't need anything crazy, so I was thinking maybe something out of a totaled vette, LMR rebuild, EG stroked,G-Force, HKE.The problem with the last four are my funds are a little low at the moment and those are getting a little pricey. I have a few friends checking around town with their friends and seeing what they can come up with. Maybe a new ls1 or ls6, and swap out some of my parts to make it work. Sorry for being long and thanks in advance, L8R DFLASH

That's what I was thinking, I have a lifter sticking and with over a 125,000 miles on it. I tried calling them today and no one answered, waiting on e-mails with pricing from Steven at LMR.
A rebuild is probably your best option. Probe's 3.902" FPS pistons on the stock rods would work pretty well.

Hey Derrick. I got your text but was sleeping earlier tonight.
I would Email or get in contact with LME and G&G as well. I've got a guy that can R&R the motor for about half of what it will take a big shop. He is the one that pulled mine and found the cam installed incorrectly by EnglandGreen.
Since you don't do any racing and don't run much boost, I would keep the compression up around 10.1-10.5:1 and just forge your stock motor. Pistons and rods, then take it to one of the pros for tuning.
