Great write up!

Thanks for the compliment. Yes, I think the Camaro(no E  ) has a great gear ratio and with a 4.10 out back in these trucks, that would make for the overall ideal gear combination -at least here in the PNW. You're correct with the 2 trannys idea. As much as I like the shifter placement with bucket seats, a bench won't work with an L6 in there. For the guy that can fab and modify, a notch cut out of the bench for clearance could be done, then reupholstered in your fav material would be cool too!
