What would make you feel accomplished at the end of the day? Having some kids looking at your car and being all over nuts because it look "JayDee-Em tiiisssssiiight" or smoking Mustang at the drags or better yet drifting the fuck out of your car in a track after shredding 2 sets of tires...
If I had $10k chilling in my pocket, I'd have a fucking RB or an LS swapped in. :thumbsup

I would have a well rounded car.
A 250whp rb20 or sr20 would be pretty easy and should run around 3500 or so for the swap and parts to reach that power level.
Some coilovers, sways, rucas, new bushings, brakes and pads to wake up the suspension/braking end should run 2000
And with the remaining 4500 - that is enough for whatever wheels your want with a full origin kit and show quality paint.
So there is no reason to decide between the two, do them both.
But if it were I building the car, it would have alot of hp and look like poop. Sleepers are cool.

10k won't be able to cover all my plans :devilfork as of now i have been leaning more towards power, looking at making a little over 300hp. id love an RB swap but it seems like a lot of work and money when i could get there in the same price range and less work with the SR. as for the chasis its in very good condition. i REALLY should have bought it from him last year though when he had all the parts for it..... had everything i just listed along with some 18" work meister S1 :1bowdown shouldn't have passed up such a good opportunity :131furiou
