Default 68 Camaro with 632 Ci BBC

Newbie just joined......what a site...you guys do amazing things.

Just bought my 68 Camaro, it's on the boat from New York to sunny Australia.

Also just bought my 632 BBC from World...it's also about to be shipped. Can't wait.

Plans for my Camaro are:

IFS front end with 12 inch wilwood brakes, coilovers with 10cm ground clearance
4 link rear with shortened 9inch running 4.11 gears again lowered to 10cm ground clearance
Torsioned chassis
632 Ci BBC with Hilborn scoop through the bonnet
Turbo 400 with 3200 stall
custom tailshaft
3inch Jethot headers and straight through pipes - may need to go 2.5" to clear T400 and tunnel
Drop tank - with 10 ltr engine...need a big tank
16x7 Budnik "Bladerunner" wheels on front and 16x10 on the rear ...oh yeah it will be mini tubbed (DSE deep tubs)..aim for 335 tyres minimum on rear end
smoothed and rolled firewall
smoothed and rolled floor pan (possibly false floor due to legal issues in Oz)
hidden everything (wires, hoses, booster etc)
flush fitted glass all round
shaved door handles
shaved gutter rails
Colour: Candy apple yellow with metallic flake + ghost flames
custom "bowtie" LED brake lights
Interior will be 4 custom buckets 2 front and 2 rear
Dash will be customised so dash blends into tops of doors, and center console
Centre console will run from top of dash all the way to top of rear parcel shelf
Interior will be cream leather all round
With lots of painted metal in console and doors
Huge stereo including TV front and back
Digital dash
lots of other little tweaks here there and everwhere but you get the drift

Project will start as soon as car arrives, expected build time 12-18 months.

Will start posting photos as we go.

Chris

Tossing around 11" but probably no wider, can't cut the chassis rail legally in Oz and should be abe to get 335's on a 10" rim...

I'm thinking maybe 315's on an 11" rim, but the 335's won't be a good fit on a 10" rim.

and welcome!

Welcome. With that motor you probably should have an extra set of rear tires mounted and balanced in the trunk for easy replacement about every 500 miles, LOL. I want to see the burnout pictures on this one!!
