He's at least half right on 5 (you obviously will need a new Y for LTs). Not sure about shorties bolting right up to existing exhaust without some modification. I doubt it.

As someone pointed out, he's working off old school rules, although I don't think shorties EVER made as much power as an LTs.
Well their must be some cars guys at the shop that is rebuilding your motor so just have your dad talk to them. If my dad didnt have freinds in the LSX business then i wouldnt have a heads and cam camaro. Over the years your dad will learn and enjoy learning about the car so just give him some time and he will come around.

He has a 30th SS. So he believes in leaving your DD alone and building a "hotrod" to your beater car. I dont think a hotcam and LT's qualifies my camaro as being a "hotrod"
