Do you simply want a stock engine with restored stock efficiency and performance, or are you looking to put together a 650-hp high-performance LS? You’ll need to decide this well before you start picking through online catalogs, or loading up parts and heading to a machine shop. How much of it should you, or can you, reuse? A lot of this has to do with the state of wear your engine parts are in, but it depends even more so on the desired characteristics of your end product. So your engine is all apart, and you’ve got containers and boxes of old parts seemingly everywhere.
