Nick, AP Engineering (http://www.automotiveperformance.net/engine.htm) has a great price on a forged 347 short block. They are a sponsor and I hear nothing but great things about them on LS1Tech.com

Check them out.

I really want to keep the fuel economy since this is my daily driver.

I don't know where I got that 9.6:1 compression ration from...

Scoggins Dickey will sell you a new LS1 motor for $6000 incl warranty. see at http://www.sdpc2000.com/cart.asp?act...id=120&pid=466

If the only thing you do is switch out your internals for forged, your fuel economy won't change. That's only when you put that 231/237 cam in

Thats the motor i would get if ididnt get a stroker, that seems like a very good deal. And u could spray a huge azz shot of nitrous into that motor all day long and not have to worry about anything breaking.. And even put any head and cam combo you wanted and not have to worry about the bottom end at all.
