man that sucks, well tear it apart and see what went wrong. but a p.i. motor costs around 1200$.
oh yea did you ever fix that ticking sound, if not (i could be wrong) your motor jumped time. just a thought

I'm serious about the LS1 though. I would like to put a built LS7 in the Cobra but the wife said she doesn't want it to sound like shit or be slow as shit either.

I would get the car scanned before you dish out the money for a new motor. Will it still crank? If you can wait till sunday I can bring my scanner and check it out for you.
