Yep think I'll go with the Camaro, Now that I have really set and thought about it I may hold off on the rebuild too if the 350 is in good shape. Like I said in a year or sooner it will come back out and built so really what would be the point of rebuilding it twice.

think I'll go back to my original plan, drop the motor in get the bugs and fitting modifications done then when its ready build the power house.

Now the fun begins,
Thanks to all that posted responses:
Sure I'll have some other questions along the way.
