Look in the mags. Classic Chevy 5 Speed did a sweet swap into a 70 RS. I think thier was alot of write ups about it in Super Chevy.
On a personal note - I love 70-73 Camaros! I use to own a 72.

Thanks guys for the compliments. It took me around 7 months to complete. The car was finished, all I did was pull the motor and trans and install the ls1 t56. I have some pics on my photobucket account. Here is the link. http://s54.photobucket.com/albums/g1...mw20/?start=20 The only major problem I ran into was the wiring. I tried to do the wiring on my harness myself and couldnt get it to run. So I sent it off to speartech and had him take care of it. I highy reccommend this. Otherwise the frame need to be cut out for the ac compressor, trans crossmember turned 180 and rewelded the mount on, and pacesetter headers. Not that hard. Here is another good pic of the car. Josh
