Engine choice is currently pending a few things, such as which deal hits first. A 350 with 4 1-barrels would be cool - the single 4-barrel is way too common for my taste, however you can not beat the availability. An LS2 would also be a fun transplant, however too expensive for the current goal.
Still need information on location of front axle to frame for a stock 3100. Just rolled the S-10 donor chassis into the shop. Time to start cutting, welding and sweating.
