If it were me and I had all the time and money in the world...

LS7, 6L80e, 1 ton axles (D60 + 14 bolt) w/ discs, coilover suspension, then go wild with the dual zone AC or lightbars or whatever else trick you want to throw at it
This is kind of along my line of thinking. Maybe an ls3 crate engine, a bit less money than the ls7. Or the ls3 525, I have friends who built trick cars with that engine.

How would you go about the coilover suspension? Is there a kit or do you have to figure that out for yourself?

I'm day dreaming but my buddy is doing something super crazy with a 66 Suburban that he wants to display at sema next year. I'm itching doing something less extreme than what he is doing but I'm definitely having the itch....

Here is a sneak peek of what he is building... 502 cu crate engine. Air bags, 4 link, fox racing shocks, hydraulic tilt forward hood, full cross bar chassis reinforcements. I think he has 40" tires on right now. Its a beast!
