Talking Hello Central Illinois

hey everyone, so i'm thinkin of buying a 80's-early 90's style camaro body and building everything from scratch. I previously owned an import that i raced at low 11's. I am pretty much a virgin to V8's and would appreciate any advice. I want to keep the car as a daily driver, that is still quick. Baller on a budget is what i am, still in college.

i always wanted a 3rd gen. I love the body style but they are slow as ****. I suggest swapping a ls1 into it. Good luck with the project.

Welcome. Later third gens (85-92) look great, and can easily be built up, as well as early fourth gens (93-97). If you plan to start from scratch though, third gens are easier to find in a condition that would so warrant. What kind of import did you have running 11's?
