Default new project

Well in the past few hours a person I thought to be a friend tried his absolute hardest to screw me over.. I was going to help him do an ls swap into a 944, but now i'm not. I'm still in the mood for a project though.. i figure i'll start from with the heart. I'm going to build and engine and then find something to put it into. My goal is a daily driver with some nuts. Ideas for vehicles are welcome and would be very much appreciated!

i've already got a truck though, although those years do look really nice.. hmm thats a thought.. my mom gave me a suggestion.. find one of the million lt1 4th gen camaros and swap an ls motor into it.. i might do that but doesn't seem all that much fun.. i did spot wrecked 350z online with no engine tranny or diff about 100 miles away in Mississippi that would be interesting to swap an ls motor into that but the price is still a little steep 5,200
