Hmm.. what you guys think

Hey guys, got a 'somewhat' thirdgen question for you.

I'm building myself a 355 sbc, and im still pending thought on what i want to swap it into. I have done swaps from a 572 into a grand nash, to a Detroit diesel in a dodge dakota. I have been doing this stuff sense i was .. 12 years old and im only 18 as of now. Im currently a senior, and want a sick vehicle to show off. I've owned one thirdgen, and one fourth gen.

I'm either thinking an S10, or a 92 Iroc. I know most of you are going to pick the thirdgen.. obviously, but if you had to pick something for a neat show and go truck/car.. What do you think would be cool for my age group?

I know the V8 S10 would be neat, but i've always loved camaro's too. I need a good spot for this engine, i have big plans for it. Give me your opinions

John

The S10 swap is more of a hassle than it's worth, but it's really more biased entirely on opinion. The most honest answer anyone can give is which one do you prefer? Either can make an exceptional vehicle.

On a side note, i do love S10's too. I have a 2000 S10 blazer that's lowered 4 inches, and has a supercharged 4.3 vortec. Almost no room under the hood. A 350 in there would make it almost impossible to work on.

I have done it before, on a 94' S10 tho, but it was a LB9. Did it for a first chevy swap, sold it after i burnt the tires a few times. I know its possible, was just looking for some opinions. I was thinking about a fourth gen, but i really dont like them in my opinion.. And a very decent third gen is hard to find now days with near no problems.. So i think im going the S-10 Route.

Altho, i do have a 90' Z with a LB9 in it, supercharged.. Thinking of selling it tho.
