Thanks for the advise.

As far as transmissions, go. I have a new zero miles, custom built T56 from a newer Camaro, will that work for me? I want to stay manual. Either in the Nova or Chevelle?

Now its time to look for a chassis. Pretty much just about any muscle car in the Pro Touring style I like, they way its slammed out and handles like a new car is great.

I like how I wont need a new subframe for the Chevelle, so I might just go that route, but I like that the Novas are lighter Some of the aftermarket subframes are spendy.

I do plan on tracking the car pretty hard, im on the fence about making it a all out race car or a street car or inbetween..

The great thing about these protouring cars is you can have a greta mix of street and track car all in one. The Chevelle at Ironworks looks like a great starting point for either way you go.

As for the transmission, I am not the expert there (or anywhere for that matter) so you should post a question in the transmission and rear end section with your specific combo and ask if it will all work together. I think it will, but don't quote me on that.
