Hmmm, gutted seems obvious.
If you want a low-buck race car, you've found it. Weight will be minimal, now it's just what do you want to use for motivation?

Like I said, "how deep are your pockets." 408, twin t-67's, a powerglide, 9". Can't beat that combino
Sorry Derek I just had to say that!!!
But true. Money is going to be your limiting factor. Turbo ($$$$); or forged bottom end stock engine, with good heads/cam, built tranny, nice rear-end, and than spray the crap out of it. A lot of weight reduction. 10's can be done - even possibly 9's.

10 Camaros You Should Never Buy
Thought I'd point out that is a 3.4 engine in there, not a LT1, so its not a Z. But it doesn't matter anyways. Solid car, and a good buy for $300. Like everyone has said, your pockets and imagination are the only limiting factor. SBC would probably be the cheapest route to go.

If you dont come across motor and trans package deal either Lt1 or LS1 jus skip them and the SBC and go BBC 
sweet deal with it being a 3.4car, that jus means cheap insurance and still being able to run 9 seconds. lol
