We've a got a pretty well handling one as a sort of sponsored shop project.

Blake and Ben:
These cars would need body modification to fit the 315s in the back. The tubs need some alteration. We have 275s all the way around, no rubs on a factory body. Actually, they may need modification in the front, too. The wheel wells may not be wide enough to allow a 315 to sweep. I know we're dangerously close to rubbing the body kit wit our 275s.

Also, we dropped an LS and t56 into this car. We used the 4th gen Camaro rear end and torque arm along with the swap. Bolts on. The trans mount is fabbed, engine mounts are from Hawks Third Gen.

Exhaust clearance is a big issue on these cars. There's not room to go duals over the top if you have the panhard bar in place. We went with a Fays2 Watts link and elected to dump the exhaust before the rear end. In factory form, they have a weird pocket under the passenger front floorboard where the catalytic converter lived.
After that, there's no reliefs in the floor to fit exhaust. Adding a torque arm further cramped our room.

But just so you know, a 4th gen tank will drop in place of the third gen unit and you can sorta reuse most of the fuel lines as they are. Makes that bit a no brainer. Also, the pedals from a 4th gen will slide in place of the third gen stuff.. so you can use the stock clutch master.
