Default Swap Opinions?

Hi all, I've kinda ran into a dilemma. The s-15 i was going to swap an LS7 into has recently been rearended and totaled (bent frame, bed all bent up and pushed into the cab). So now I am in the process of trying to find another decent shape s-truck. But something had me thinking about fox body mustangs. Which in your opinion is an "easier" swap? Now i know that no swap is technically easy, but i think both are really cool swap projects. I'm just undecided now

You had your heart on the S15, my opinion is to find another truck. But I'm completely biased in the sense that I hate Ford. Or dump some money into that Camaro because SLP Lid and 160 thermostat just aint cuttin it!

if i dump money into the camaro, there's less to go towards my LS7. IMO i'd rather pay for a nice solid roller 427 than mess with my untouched mint z28 haha

the only reason why i'm considering a Fox is because of it's weight. Its comparable to the S-10's, proabably a little heavier tho.

S-10 here too!! You can get all the parts to run either. So the swap really isnt that bad. Not much fab work, If you can live with the limited space of the S-10.

what exactly is limited? i'm relocating the battery to the rear and put my dry sump tank where the battery is currently located. The only problem i can think of right now is where to buy some 1 7/8" long tubes and how they'd interfere with the steering
