Also, question for you all. Does anyone have any opinions or advice on an engine swap in a 2nd gen?
I know someone who has a 1992 in perfect body, frame and interior condition (bought in Cali) but it has the dreaded 3.0 V6 head gasket problem and he's looking for advice. I think a 3.4 swap would be his best bet, but I have no clue who I would trust to do the work, how involved that would be, or what his best options is. He's ready to just dump it as is for $1500

I would definitely go with the 3.4 swap. Those are great engines and shouldn't require too much fab work.
I've also found a few people that swapped in a SBC 350, but that would also require a trans, wiring, etc. Also, a lot more fab work.
