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.
