    In large part it will depend on what you want the final product to be. If you're going for a 50/60s Gasser type car, I would definitely stay with the straight axel (and probably upgrade to disc brakes…..possibly with Buick drum style covers).

    If you’re going more for a street rod thing, I would probably go with the Mustang II style setup. I think you’re going to find the Camaro (and probably almost any other late model front clip) is going to be way too wide.

    The one thing that may take some engineering with the Hemi and Mustang II setup will be routing the steering shaft(s) around the exhaust. If you take a look at my 37 Dodge build thread you can get an idea about what I mean.

    By the way, Welcome…….and pictures are always great to see.
