    What do you have in mind. Street car, show car, drag car, street and strip. Hard to say unless you let us know which way you are leaning.:)

    Post up some pictures would help.

    If you just want a street car...I would leave the motor stock. Might not be much "fun"....but it will be dependable and easy to work on and maintain, especially if you are a beginner or novice.

    drop in a roller 5.0L/C4 package and call it a day :yup:

    As much as I love the 6 bangers, they just cost WAY too much to hop up.
