Only thing I would change is the heater core. After i traded my first Z/28 to my brother in 1972 or 73 he put a 427 in it. The MT valve cover actually touched the heater hose fitting.

Frankly, if you have a SB heater cover, you already have the right cover. Just punch two holes for the BB heater core. Just not worth the head ache.

I have never had a BB Camaro, so no spring recommendations; but my favorite shock for first gens is adjustable Konis. I have them on my Z.

Thanks Lynn Will do I appreciate your advice! Hopefully I can unload everything I'm selling to get this going.

Another thot is, you live in a reasonable climate, you may want to consider removing the heater box altogether which is keeping with your performance build and could save you a few buck$.
