The body mods are one of the biggest turn offs for most doing mods.  The
loss of cargo space to some is a major consideration.  The two best chevy
mods I have seen actually used the chevy transaxle as well and were total
mods of the rear end.  One of these was a 350 v8 the other was the v6.
Engine mounted in its normal chevy way facing forward with transmission to
rear.  Both used the automatic.

Planned insanity is best.
Remember that sanity is optional.
