sucks but you've had a ton of fun and made a ton of power in your ZR1 for the better part of 4ish years now. How many miles did you have on her? do you think you'll buy a crate motor, rebuild it yourself or take it vengance?

10k on the mileage and they were very hard miles. I trailered the car everywhere so you can only imagine how many of those miles were spent at high rpm. Definitely not a crate motor. It will be a 6 bolt motor that's for sure.

This might sound crazy but you should look into a lsx 454. 6bolt heads, forged bow tie block and forged everything else. I bet you could slap that zr1 blower on it. Motor comes with 11.1 compression so you would have to turn down the boost but as a crate motor is under 10k.

Damn man, sorry to see it go but you are in good hands with vengeance. I was in line when it happened, and just saw a small flash and was like...ohhh **** I hope he is ok. Glad to see you were

I pulled the belt off the car and the blower spins and sounds clean so it sounds like it's going to be small cubes high compression for me
