What's your dream build(s) square or not? My first is, a Prius with a V8, I don't know why. My second is, A 1970s Dodge Truck in orange with the General Lee number and flag. My third is, One of those VW dune buggy's with a 454.

Hmm, I'd say a clean clean Triumph TR6 with a 350, an electric converted short bed square body powered by a Tesla Model S getup, and maybe a 65'ish Bio-Diesel C10. Because why not. Oh, and a twin turbo Ultima GTR. Oh and a perfectly restored 82' Honda CB

My truck in its final form would be a c2500 long stepper with a 540 followed by a 4l80e and a gearvendors. The double overdrive would let me run a really low rear gear and still cruise the freeway without a care.
Also I want a 70 firebird, would have a 455 and a 5 or 6 speed stick.
I would also build myself a 68ish Pontiac Bonneville with a 428 or larger and a modern automatic.
A Jeep pickup would be fun too, no detailed ideas though.
And maybe some iconic Ford with a big proud bbc in there to piss the Ford fans off.
I'd probably have more if I had the resources, lotta gm things I'd want.

I'd like to do a 1977 Chevy El Camino with an earlier 6bt Cummins and a 47RH transmission, a 1954 Chevy 3100 with a built 250/292 inline six with a 700R4, and a nice big block overdrive car that's at least 45 years old.

Haven't watched this one yet, but boy I love that style A Body. It seems like quite a few people don't like them so maybe more options for me. If I could find a really nice roller, I'd grab it.

Out of a DeLorean?
Even tho the stainless steel construction is perfect for time travel I doubt that Peugeot 6cyl could achieve 88 mph. lol I'm thinking an aluminum S8 with a W12 would suffice.

Yeah, not the best powerplant choice by a longshot.
