My budget initially is around $10,000-$15,000 but I plan on making incremental changes in the future as money becomes available for upgrades (which is the path most owners on a limited budget take I suppose). The engine would be the first project, then brakes, suspension, body mods...and on and on...!

With that budget it sure seems to me that the 3.6 swap ala Jack, Bill, Tom, & Rich is the way to go. Wish mine needed work so I could join the fun.
