Small Block V8 vs. Turbocharged Slant Six

If you go the v8 route, get everything. All accessories, trans, k member and driveshaft. "Running when pulled" is one of the biggest loads of crap I've seen advertised. Unless you know for a fact that the v8 was running, you're taking a gamble if you expect to buy one and just drop it in over a weekend. Building a v8 on the side and taking your time while driving a known reliable slant 6 is a good option. A turbo slant is cool as hell though
