I am about to embark on the same process with my 67 Camaro. I have an Art Morrison Max G chassis and am 6'5" tall, so head room is really an issue for me. Might have to sacrifice some ride height but I would like to stay even with the rockers.
I am leaning towards bolting it in as well. I think it will give more flexibility/ adjustability if there are issues in the future of the build or if the ride height turns out not to be where I want it. Probably easier to paint too and am hoping to save some time in reassembly after paint too as everything can be built on the chassis. Spent some time on the East Bay Muscle Cars Tenacity build thread. They cut up that Morrison frame to gain headroom and I hope not to do that, but the end product really looks great. Frostbite, a 67 Firebird is another build thread you should check out. They bolted in that one and it also looks solid. Would be interested in what you ultimately decide on and if others have builds bolting in Morrison chassis to 1st gens, would like to hear about them too.
