Just because it's made in Detroit doesn't mean it's crap...
The Corvette isn't my cup of tea but the LS is a bloody good engine.

Have you seen the thread about the LS engine block breaking at the starter?
Corvette C5 starter mount failure - welding aluminum engine block?
With GM going bankrupt, and the suppliers probably following... I'm not sure an LS is a "long term" solution
