what are yall looking for?
a complicated build to show off the shops work?
a simple but clean car that can go to events?
race? drift? drag?

I think answering these questions will lead to the car selection.

Also, budget is a huge deciding factor

+1 on those answers. VQ in an S chassis would be nice. It would be reliable as far as being N/A. The wiring would probably be the hardest part of the swap. I've been thinking about doing this for a while and I would love to have this setup. I like the S chassis because Lance and I are familiar with it and parts are heavily available.

definitely easier to find odds and ends for a 240, then a 350.
From what I've read the VQ is pretty difficult, but it would be a nice accomplishment.

Motors:
KA-T
SR
RB
VQ

Chassis:
S30
510

All swaps have been done.


I'm thinking something more VIP might fit the bill though. Wheel fitment and suspension will have to be superb.

I think something that would showcase the products that you sell. If you can get a vast array of products, maybe the ones that sell the most. Just my .02

240 would be an easy/cheap project car that could come out real nice...really depends on price I would say....the more money the better the car lol
