ok i've been doing a little more thinking...v8 s10's are always a good route...they are easier to tub as well...There's a guy in town that has a 350 v8 s10 that needs a starter, brakes, tires, paint, and a serious tune up...he's asking 1600 dollars...I think he'd go for 1300...the interior is already gutted and the exhaust is a little screwed up, the pipe that is still connected is about 2 inches off the ground...i know that is wrong, and the other exhaust pipe is in the bed...I'm thinking maybe buy an s10, and like ebay an ls1 or lt1 to drop into it...mini tub, stick it on the bottle, 8 point cage...what do you guys think?
