I need some input on a motor
HI i havent posted on here much but am always on haha. I just need some inputs maybe personal experience storys about a motor choice. I have a 98 T/A that had an LS1 in it and about 150k on the clock, well the rod went out the side of the block and now i need to replace it seeing how it was my DD. I was lookin to possibly get another LS1 or an LS6 for it but dont am also strapped for cash :\. What do you think a good setup would be for it and prices? I am a college student and know quite a bit about cars but dont have to much time to get into it right now. Thanks looking forward to your advice. Oh it is also a 4 speed auto with a brand new tranny in it.

just replace it with another LS1, that would be the cheapest route, since everything will fit right.

I was think that too but can't find any around here and suprisingly LS1's are also a rareity around here too.
