Duramax???

[Camaromax]

So some of my concerns now are:

1. Fitting in the engine bay due to height?

I am thinking possible dry sump to allow me to lower the engine down as far as I can so I can run a small cowl hood. If Chevy can run a dry sump on a production Corvette why shouldn't I be able to do so on my Camaro.

2. Traction???

What type of rear suspension to run? I am definitely not keeping the leaf springs I actually plan on doing some sort of custom frame. I am leaning toward using either a triangulated 4 bar or a torque arm style rear suspension, but I was thinking of only using a 285-305 rear tire???

3. Gear Ratio??

I am planning on using the Allison transmission so I need to figure out what gear ratio I will have to use to make the gearing similar to the trucks. to do this all I need is a rear gear ratio and tire size for the truck and convert that gear to be the same with the tire size I plan on running with the Camaro.


Please give any input on the above problems.

Thanks
