Default Ideas for a car...

Well I just wrecked my Camaro and after 5 years of having a Fbody I want to do something different.

I've got a 408 LQ4/L92 Stroker, Built T56, 9" Rear and the Wiring & PCM to make it work.

I was looking into a 69 Chevelle..couple people were telling me a RX7 or a 240..

My requirement is that I can pop the hood & get to all 8 Cylinders to change the plugs.

Ideas fellas?

99-04 Mustang!

Find a V6 roller, buy 03/04 Cobra body pannels, slap on a turbo, and call it a day.

Well that sucks dude. I'm thinking something from the late 60's. A C3 perhaps?

I would drop that drivetrain into a 70-78 T/A or 70-73 Camaro in a heartbeat....

Wow, that's two totally different ends of the spectrum. I hate imports, so I would never consider an RX7 or 240, but the Chevelle would be fun. The 2nd gen Camaro/TA that SOMbitch suggested would be great as well.

Was thinking a little more about this (something I've always been interested in), and if you painted it flat black, it would be pure awesomeness. And you'd confuse the hell out of a lot of people.

I'd vote a split bumper Camaro. Can't beat that
