Another LLT camaro bites the dust

[2010_camaro]

Do a Gen 4 5.3 with Holley EFI BW S475 turbo on E85. Can make 800whp easy.

Got it to my local shop that repaired my head gasket inAugust and asked him to have a look, but I kinda knew from the sound what it was. Well !!!! got that wonderful phone call and to sum it up, the car had threw a lower rod and metal debris are in the oil. My wonderful 2011 213k mileage Camaro is dead, and i'm off looking for a new car. At this point, just going to bring it home and maybe turn it into a project car or something, don't really want to put another V6 LLT motor in again (maybe GM made updates in later engines).

With 213k ....it was time. I'm sure you drove it hard not like a Toyota Camry.

Drop a '69 "396" in it.

Well I have always had the mindset of why buy a sports car if your not going to drive it and have fun with it. Drove it to and from work and had fun on the weekends. She was a good car, now just got to save some money to get her fixed.

Well, I will be passing 215k on mine this week. Still holding strong hope to get a few more miles out of it.

Replaced throttle body and rear end. oil changes and tires have been all that has been done otherwise.

Don't give up on the Camaro, she is a good car with great style. Don't want to give it up now and in 20 years realize that you should have kept the car. I know for me, I'm going to spend the 6k and restore the car to her glory days it will take a year or two but worth it.

I would also like to know some more information about this. How do you know this and from who? I am possibly looking into FI and don't want to purchase an existing one if there are better and possibly cheaper alternatives coming out in the near future.
