First off, welcome to CHR! I just wanted to let you know up front that you're talking a mega-buck project, especially if you're going to have to hire the chassis work done. Quite easy to get $15K +++ wrapped up in just the chassis by the time it's a roller. I suppose you're thinking an LS engine? With EFI, the rest of the electronics package, a short block stout enough to stand up to twin turbo's and heads with enough capacity to make it all work going to be a $20K +++ engine and electronics package!!!!!
Are you considering a full tube chassis or just a back half on the Chevelle frame? Places like S&W race cars offer both back half and full frame packages for the car, saves a lot of engineering and tube bending time! As Mike mentioned, lots of good roller's for sale on Racing Junk at less then half of what it takes to build one. With a bit of searching you can find the right car that's already certified, too!
If you have really deep pockets, it will be a fun car..... Just didn't want to see you start on it thinking you could get the car done and going fast for any reasonable amount of money!!!!!!Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Learning must be difficult for those who already know it all!!!!
