Re: which one would you build?
wow a v6 to big block swap, that's gonna be soooo much different and everything it's gonna be almost scary, you are gonna have too much fun driving it. They'll have to cut the smile off your face man.
I'd a went with the 2 door hoe, but I understand the wifey thing LOL, plus yours might weigh a bit less, and less weight over the back, should make it break loose easier and be alot more fun.
