The company I worked for built several C2 with SR3 and Street Shop chassis. Have you looked into wide body C2 quarters ? They give a slight increase in the fender well/lip area and give ya about 2 more inches. The mods you're into right now are normal. The SR3 chassis has ya cutting even more to get the upper tubes in there. We also move the wall behind the seats back 3 inches so a taller person could get the seat back farther, you'll need to move the seat tracks and mounts back too...
One of ours had a 500 hp LS7 and it was a blast to drive !! Keep up the great work and enjoy !!!!

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. I thought about the wider rear quarters but struggled with keeping a balance between modern and classic styling. In the end, I wanted to retain the original body lines and have the fun underneath with the chassis and engine combo.
The LS3 for example is plenty powerful for me as I want something that is quite "street-able"
I know I give up some bragging rights not having the LS7 or LS9 but that is OK too.
