68 Camaro SB2, T101, full chassis build

[patoke]

I recented picked up a 1968 Camaro RS/SS that is in great condition. It currently has a big cam 427 making 550HP, reverse pattern manual shift Turbo 400 and Dana 60 in it. All of those drag racing parts are getting pulled out (I will likely sell them if anyone is interested) and I am thinking about putting in an SB2 ex-cup motor I have. Along with the SB2, I have a Tex T101 which I am debating whether to use or not. I have raced cars for years so I am used to driving with a clutchless dog ring transmission but never on the street. I can't decide if I am going to make this car more race car or street car but it will see double duty regardless. I also have a Schwartz chassis I picked up for it. I can't wait to get started on it. Here are a few pictures of the car as it is now, the motor, and the chassis. Feel free to give me input/opinions on the use of the motor/tranny. If I decide against the tranny, I will need to source a manual tranny that can handle that power of the SB2. That is unless I dump that idea as well and use an LSx motor but since I already have the SB2 and there are already tons of LSx powered 1st gen Camaros, I am leaning to the SB2. The car will be fully caged with a nice interior (not all sheetmetal).
