well, just got the news back today… cylinder 5 had a hole in the piston…had a complete meltdown. Long story short, Im getting a Brand new Long block right from GM under dodge worlds expense…not costing me a dime :banana They think the kid before me sprayed it…however, it doesnt have anything to do with me so it doesnt affect warranty and neither does my headers. Car ran REAL good for having a complete dead cylinder! ---

Good point. Is this just the short block or the FULL long block? If long block, you are LUCKY. If short block, probably doesn’t matter about the abuse. ---

Someone on LS1tech said because my car is a 01 they could put in the LS6 motor and that its the same price…Im gonna talk to northstar today and see if thats at all possible… ---

01 and up LS1 had LS6 intake but I dont know if they will confuse the two or if they are the same price… I guess its worth a shot. The only difference is the heads and cam. The heads have taller valves to meet the .050 smaller base circle of the ZO6/LS6 cam. The PVC system is a little different too with ports in the valley cover ---

That’s sweet you’re getting a new engine. It would be awesome if you could grab your old block and heads. Johawk - I think the LS6 block had a couple extra tweaks but nothing worth extra power? BTW: I’ll prolly be selling my LS6 intake manifold at some point. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/follow-up-on-my-cylinder-5-misfire/237317.md?page=2)
