What is 'blown' in the engine?
Speculated repairs?

Sounds like a lot of work went into the existing engine, is it worth repairing?

I would just buy a new LS6 crate motor & keep enjoying the car.
A car with a blown motor is a tough sell at almost any price.

Car is only probably worth about $10K as it sits. Car has seen a lot of track time and will only be of interest to a very small group of people.
