So I have a 2013 gt500 with a brand new hole in the block. I am hoping the heads are ok. I'm looking for advice where is the best place to start. I'm in NC best place to buy a motor or short block. Only ones I can find are jdm and l and m. I didn't know if there were more options other than oem

Well that's a major bummer. Car modded to the gills?

Reall depends on what you want. Built motor or stocker. Always a junkyard option if you can find one, still gonna pay.

I had factory boost and supplements my 93 with a few gallons of 110 for safety measures.

That sucks! Sounds like from what you posted you should have been fine. I haven't personally heard of a near stock motor blowing like that.

Modular Head Shop and MPR Racing Engines are two other GT500 specalists to add to your list.

Was your engine tuned?

Wow...scary post. Could it have started from a slow roll OPG hard hit ? I hope you find the cause of failure some day & right deal for a new build.

Yeah it is scary. Not sure what OPG means but I am leaning towards a jdm short block seems good for the money.

Was the tune an email tune? Dyno tune? Data log tune? Any more info would be great.

Trying to help so you dont have the same issue on the new motor.

Get a 20k credit card and max that bitch out on a new engine.
