My 69 Camaro/MaxG- 3 link build PARTS GATHERING

Well I recieved a giant box yesterday from Art Morrison courtesy of Frank from Prodigy Customs/GP superstore.
I just wanted to take a minute to thank Frank who helped me to decide exactly what goals I wanted to accomplish and how to achieve them with this project. I was beating myself in the head with a hammer trying to figure everything out, and he reminded me this was supposed to be fun, and just get what I wanted upfront so as not to be buying the wrong parts over and over. This alone is itself invaluable information. He talked me through the entire process and gave me loads of info on what I needed.
The car is being built by Mark(69metalman) on here and Team Camaro, who happens to live within driving distance of my house (which I have learned is a very valuable asset) I hope he will be chiming in with updates periodically
I would also like to take a minute to thank everyone at Morrison for their help, especially Kevin Koser, if anybody needs a great salesman/tech guy he is definately your man.
All I know now is a 69 Camaro with 19x12s with a 5.5 B.S. in the rear and 18x10s with a 6.25 B.S. in the front, C-6 Corvette front, 3-link rear It will have a 5" ride height with a 5-speed and Air-Ride...LOL
Back to beating myself in the head trying to figure out an engine
Well onto what everyone really wants to see

As far as choices for engine...:willy: Still not sure of anything
I will probably have to Flinstone it for a while after the car is completely finished, because I will still not have figured out a motor...lol
Seriously though I have relegated myself to an LS based engine but that is all I know. I am shooting for 550 RWHP, but we will see because we all know how these things snowball.. Hell it could end up a TT1000HP monster before it is over..
Transmission though I am rock solid on a TKO600 5 speed road racing setup.

Before you start bad-mouthing us too much, keep in mind that we do this on purpose. Depending on transmission being used, engine location, crank centerline these two pieces might need to be moved around. It's a lot easier to break a couple of tack welds than to cut an entire weld.

Thanks for buying our parts for your awesome project. Please take lots and lots of pics! We are always looking for build pics and would love to post your build up on our site. If you have any questions along the way, please don't hesitate to let me know.

Should be a fun and awesome project. Off to a GREAT start so far.:thumbsup:
What LS engine are you thinking of? LS3, LS7?:unibrow:
Twin turbo?!!?:_paranoid
Yikes,... that would nice. Keep us updated with the build please.:cheers:

All right, how did I miss this? Art Morrison is building a full frame for Camaros? I need a do over.
