Default In your opinion...best/easiest motor swap

I DID SEARCH SO SHUT UP!

Anyway im not looking for a HOW-TO...im looking to get some feed back on what swap you have done and how did it work out, and what parts you use.

Best bang for buck is covered and debated. But best bang for buck if you ask me is a z6.

Just go with a Dual Cam ZC. You can use the same tranny and axles. Just need to swap a few wires and your good to go. Not much more HP but its a little and its super easy.
