for 12k I would have a Blown motor Gen2.5 with a 98 5.7 vortec, 4L60, and Terralow NP241 with a freaking 60 up front on coils.


If it were me, I'd do it the same. Except, I'd likely go with a Duramax and the Allison... Man, how sweet would it be to have a blister fender with the clatter of a bigass honking diesel... :drool:

Fasteddy's advice is occasionally sound...
