I am helping out a friend.

it all boils down to your budget! have your buddy drive a s-10 because that's what it's gonna drive like if you us the s-10 frame. any m2 stuff is all aftermarket and good stuff and the price's reflect that. i know a guy with a 52 panel and has m2 with 454 going on 40,000+ miles with no problems. the 50' in the pic has 76' camaro and goes down the road fine but has camber issues due to improperly locating subframe too low and needing taller springs so tires don't rub. do your homework and good luck.
