ISO: LS3 short block
Dropped a lifter in my LS3, so I’m looking for a replacement. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I would just replace the lifter set. Especially if nothing else is hurt.

Too much metal passed through it. I could just hot tank the block and repair the damage the lifter did to the block itself (resleeve it, I guess) but I’d rather replace the short block and slowly fix the damaged block over the next couple of months.

May need to try that, although it looks like I may have found an LS3 short block for $2K

I would say just go aftermarket short block. You can reuse almost everything from your current engine. Order from TSP or Thompson motorsports.
