I'm gonna get the chevrolet performance Vortec. Seems like the way to go. If I had the cash I would definitely get that motor.

Yeah It does. But I went with the Chevy performance L31 instead of the jegs.

Good choice, IMO! $500 is "Chicken $hit Money" when you factor ALL the TIME and money in an engine replacement job.

No doubt about it. Getting it in a few days. Chevrolet Performance is the way to go . Anybody know if the oil pan gasket comes nice and sealed with rtv from the factory. I don't wanna have to remove it and put rtv on it myself.
