I believe Hooker makes headers for the swap, did one a number of years back and I believe that is where we got them. I'm not a chevy guy, but aren't the big block and small block mounts the same? If I'm wrong, I'm sure the chevy guys will let both of us know... I think I also had to do some modifying on the firewall to get the HEI cap to clear, or maybe I moved the motor back a bit to move some weight rearward. It was a lot of projects and a few years ago so excuse my CRS......

Both Moser and Currie make a bolt in 9" rear end for your Camaro. As long as you leave it a one wheel wonder I doubt it will hook up enough to break the 10 bolt. I've seen them 8.5's take a lot of abuse even with a posi in them....
