Default Car opinions?

So I've been wanting to do an ls1 swap but I need some opinions.
I want to do a swap under 7k with the vehicle cost in there. Also, since I live in the bay area, it has to be smog legal as well.

Can it be done? What cars would you guys suggest other than the s10. No offense or anything but I do not like little trucks after driving my k5 for almost a year.
