i sorta want to go with the v8 but then the V6 would be pretty easy though
i just don't wana do alot alot alot of cutting to the body and stuff like that
so if i could have your input that would be great
and then T-350 or T-400

Recessing the needed larger radiator is the hardest part to me in a V8 swap, and it's pretty easy. :lol: But I will admit I'm partial to horsepower.

If you want to sport around go the V6, but if you want to kick tuner butt now and then go the V8and if you do go V8 be prepared to see a silly grin on your face allot.
