Granted I don't know much about LSx's, but I thought they were damn near bulletproof. Bummer, but good luck with the rebuild! New motor has to be at least a 6.0 because it's in the thread title.
:twisted: Maybe, I got to see how expensive it is to build up a 6.0.
Unfortunately racing has made me very aware of the possibilities of blowing up, crashing etc on track. It's a $1,600 calamity but what are you going to do? I tend to prefer not to waste anguish about things we cannot control.
I also found I was a bit "bored" driving in HPDE in a street car. I certainly won't be tracking this car again, mostly because HPDE is boring without a goal. I have been ruined by racing. If I was out with a bunch of friends it would be fun.
Edit: I also have thought about selling the car. It's fun, tough, fast; but want to try something other than an e36. I will be finishing up the a/c when the engine is out and cleaning up a few items and then posting it up for sale if anyone was interested in the 16-18k range as it sits.
