Default 6.0 into 95 camaro or 87 SS Monte Carlo

Recently got 6.0 out of a 05 pickup and plan on make a putting it in a car to make a nice street vehicle. I like the camaro and the ss monte carlo which one would make a better street car that will go the the track from time to time.

The MAJORITY of G body Rollers have junk bodies or are in need of serious repair to be "Right" I have worked close with a few body shops and I have gotten to see 1st hand on what it takes.

Be that said, a G body would be a "easier" swap as you can convert to a carb set up and it would definitly be a fun ride. The LT1 to LSx swap is far more involved and I would implore you to research what is needed as it is far more then a G body Swap.

I think though for the amount of good G bodies out there, the PIMP factor would be strong.

If you can find one in good shape then I vote for the Monte SS
