Help me decide Camaro or Blazer? wich project next

hey guys ive been on here a little while. i have a 82 s10 that went 9.90s with a 355 and spray. i converted it to turbo so i have a 9sec motor sitting waiting to go into something. i have a nice blazer that needs no body work already has a 350 in it or a 3rd gen camaro that has some rust issues and needs body work. wich would you put the 9.sec motor into. i plan on putting a set of 11.5:1 pistons and a cam with intake and carb in the motor thats in the blazer now. its bone stock 79 350. the blazer and camaro wont be tubbed like the truck. i can get a 9" rear for the blazer with 35spline axels for 670. im plannin on swaping the s10 to a glide so the th400 with brake and 4500 stall 8" tci converter will be with the nos motor. i have fenderwell headers and long tubes for the blazer. no headers for the camaro. i have a spohn tq arm and trannymount and adj pahnard bar for the camaro and its already gutted for the cage. the blazer is not. its full stock interior and its nice. too? if you already had a 8sec s10 would you do the camaro or blazer

Personally I would do the Camaro. When working on the Blazer I own I found that the Camaro is a much better basic design from an engineering standpoint. It was also made to fit a V8 unlike the Blazer. I also prefer a Camaro over a Blazer

This is a third gen F-body forum, not an S10 forum. You're asking the wrong crowd on an opinion about what you should do.

Most people on here will say the camaro I'm gunna say the blazer cause you don't see many 2wd full size blazers. I'm kind of impartial cause I have a 79' c10, 85 s10 blazer and 92 bird. Sweet dime by the way.
