What to do, 2wd-V8, or 4wd-V6?

Do you live where it snows? or maybe floods? if so 4x4

Do you have alternative vehicles and or no snow/flooded area, then i would do v8 all the way

I drove a rwd explorer last winter (or tried too) and was probably the most dangerous thing i have ever tried just because i live in Minnesota and we get shit tons of snow and ice.

no doubt about it ls1

what about finding a salvaged silverado for you running gear and doing both?

other wise I say 4wd it's fun

Thanks for all the input guys! Just a little update:

I have decided to at least go ahead and take the front clip off the white one, and later today I am supposed to show it to a guy who has an LS1 from a Trans AM who may be willing to do some trading. If he doesn't want it, then I will just pull the entire drive-train, take everything good off of it, and probably scrap the remains. I intend to follow thru w/ my dreams, and build my original truck into a Bad-Ass LSX S10.

Way I see it, they made all kinds of 4x4's from the factory, but NEVER did make any LS1 V8's! So hopefully I can take some of the body parts from the 4x4 that I need, and use the other good ones to get more of the parts I need.

All I gotta do is look at some of my old pics, and watch a few vids on YouTube, I know exactly what I want to do!

not sure if you got any u pull it yards close by. you can probably get any body parts for it out of one of those.

I say v8, my buddy dropped an ls4 6.0 into his blazer and set it on 1-tons but that was a pain in the ass for a 4x4. Keep the 2wd and do your v8

agreed! small correction, it couldn't be the ls4, that was a 5.3, or could refer to a 454 . The 6.0 you speak of was likely a badass Ls2
