Closest to you would be Texas Speed and Performance or SDPC (Scoggin Dickey)...

Good Luck

I just did a compression test and the #7 cylinder has 40psi compression. I guess that is not good!

Didn't this just happen to another Procharged truck a few weeks ago or so???

Sorry for your misfortune. I kinda like the deal on these, but with the deals on Dart Heads and the Warlock block coming out soon, too bad you can't wait. GM will be releasing a new block for big inch LSX motors real soon, which would work great with the L92 heads and intake for pretty reasonable price. Tons of options on the way, but you're kinda in a bind I'm sure.

http://www.texas-speed.com/shop/cate...?MID=5&catid=3 $6600 for an assembled long block sounds fairly reasonable. Or go for the L92 shortblock and add your own heads and valvetrain.

No, sorry to hear, that's no good........
A LQ9 6.0L block can be a reasonable place to start.
