Default Need Some Advise

Im having a hard time choosing between two projects. The one is a 95 z28 a4 camaro and the other is a 94 s10. Now the camaro runs fine but needs some rust repair in the rear and the s10 has a carbed gen 1 350 in it. What i want to do is install a 6.0 lq4 and t56. Im just looking for some advise on what would be the better project to go with. They make make a ton of parts for the camaro but its alot harder to work on than the v8 s10.

S10. I hate f-bodys. My buddy is building an lsx s10 and It seems pretty straight forward between using a couple aftermarket parts and all the rest factory GM stuff. He even sent the wiring harness out to get it grafted int the s10 harness. Everything is now pretty much plug and play.

I built the s10, its the complete ( kinda loosing intrest ) swapping a v8 in is pretty easy. The s10 is so much easier to work on then the camaro but the camaro looks twice as sick.

Its your choice.. doesn't matter if someone like one or the other.. your the one that will have to live it it and be happy with it. I think you know both the pro's and con's of each.. it just comes down to what you want.

I don't see what state your in, but is passing a Smog test/visual a issue ?

I live in PA. we have a visual inspection which right now wont be a problem but down the road could cause a issue with the s10.

I'd go either way....anything with an LSx motor in is going be better then what was in it before.... Personal choice I would also do the S10.
