Default newb from GA

Hey guys, new guy from GA here...I am currently debating an Ls7, or turbo Ls1 for my 98 s10 (sonoma front end conversion). With just under 293,000 on the odometer, I think its time to retire the old v6 and stock suspension. I also have a 1969 Camaro 'SS' 396 4-spd that I am trying to restore because its been sitting for 19 years, a 1966 Ford LTD 352 automatic (needs eng rebuild, but body/interior and perfect), and a 94 eclipse I just got for $400 to get around in while I work on the others. Pretty much the only things I enjoy are working on/modifying cars, going fast, and tools.

The s10 I bought when I was 16 with 82,000 miles on it, the camaro I bought from my dad, and the LTD from my grandpa...Both classics were bought new and kept in the family this whole time...And now I have em.

Im 21 and work in a body shop, repairing what other people break, and when the main guy isnt there, I get to paint...I have worked there since I was 15 and it paid for me to get certified in collision repair, and I am going back for all the mechanics.

...Well thats about all there is to me...not much spare time for anything else.
