I don't blame you after all the problems, hope everything works out better on your next car.

It can be done. Proper parts selection, assembly, tuning, and auxilliary upgrades are the key.
If you only drive the car on the weekends, I would expect the engine to last indefinately.

Is a long block the best way to go for the power levels Marc is talking about or is it overkill?

Brian if our heads were not damaged in throwing our rods...then having a long block would not be a "need" even for more power than I mentioned (550 rwhp). I believe our APS TT kits will ( with enough boost ) easily get us to 550 rwhp. After that our fuel system might need to be addressed to give more fuel.
Do tell Shariff!! Hey Shariff can you answer my question about how many maps can the UTEC hold on the fly?

) of the heads, meaning the motor NEEDS new heads.(like you said)..also, for the sake of convenience and ease, some companies build their longblock option with the front and rear timing cover installed and the motor timed, ready to go

I'm sure Shariff will chime in but I think the long block option really depends on wether you need or want heads and cams. On many long block engine options you can upgrade the cams and port and polish the heads to provide even more performance.

I'm just preparing myself for the worst scenario for this build. I'm figuring with the way my engine blew, that extensive damage probably occured.
But like I said earlier, I don't want to start the tear-down process until I'm prepared to begin the build.
