Good choice, these 1st gens go UP in value each year and aren't huge money pits like 4th gens.

Hint, go to Lateral-g.net as suggested and look on the home page. There are TONS of pictures and many many first gens. That's where I go when I need motivation for my car. Good luck with the build and especially the search for a clean car to start with that is affordable.

Theres a guy I went to HS with whose dad has 68 chevelle roller that I've been thinking about making an offer for. Car has been under a car port collecting dust for 5-6 years, just needs an engine and transmission. kinda sad to see it just sitting there covered in leaves and dust, when they got it had a fresh coat of paint and new prostars.

With a T56 your clutch setup will be same as any 4th gen setup. There is a kit to swap in a T56 into a first gen that a few places make/sell. I believe you can get it through any of the sponsors that carry BMR I'm sure.

go with a textralia (sp) or something of the like. There are a ton of people making a ton of power with ls1's so there has to be a clutch out there that will work for you.

Step one before getting to far ahead of yourself should be locating a car to start with.
