Is there a Third Gen. site b/c I bet if there is, somebody has already done it and can tell you right off the top of their head. Sorry, I don't know... pdq67

I would check into the legality of this proceedure first, both at the track and on the street. Chances are that a modified firewall would not comply with the safety regulations at the track, and worse yet, might nullify your insurance policy.

I believe Hooker make a swap-kit for the big block and 3rd gen Camaros. The only reason you might need to cut the firewall is to fit and HEI distributor. Good luck.
