I am going to purchase a new motor ASAP, can you guys tell me about my options when it comes to the LS2 and LS3?
Where would be the best place to look as far as price?
Thanks again.

I'm not understanding why you are bringing this up now if it happened 2 years ago.
Not to be devils advocate, but you should have been checking the oil all along. To go 3200 miles without changing the initial oil or never checking it is some negligence on your part. I can understand some of GM's postion that you bear responsibility for part or all of the damage.
Also if it had no oil in it, Zero quarts and you ran it for 5 miles, the noise must have been aweful. I say you bear some responsibility for driving it with it making the noises. Plus if it was a slow leak you were driving with 1 or 2 quarts for a period of time and the engine wouldn't have been functioning properly at that point and would have been making noises. Why didn't you check it at that point, or get it back to the dealer then?
If you had the proper amount of oil in it, or at least 3 or 4 quarts till the day you started it with no oil, I can understand you not realizing there was something wrong. But the question begs to be asked, what happened to the 3 - 6 quarts that were in the engine???
Is there someone that might have sabotaged your car??? If that's the case, then GM shouldn't be at fault, you should be contacting your insurance company.
