For whatever reason a bbc in a fox is easier to service than a 351w, I have worked on both Ina fox chassis and the bbc was easier.

I am a mopar guy through and through but if I somehow lost all my stuff and had to start over.....fox body with a gen III or ls engine.

You can't argue with the ls engine. It's a a tough platform. There is lots and lots of guys running in the 9s with very very stock salvage engines with turbos.
