I have an '85 Camaro. It currently has a T-5 trans. I have just put together a 408 SBC. The rest of the car is stock. The intended purpose of the car is to drive to HPDEs, AX events, and general racing education. The engine bay has the engine and the radiator removed. The car was red, then white, now black (I didn't do it - bought it this way).

Should I strip the engine bay then paint it, slap the engine in and continue to the drivetrain support mods, slap the engine in and do suspension mods, or what? I would really like to drive the car, but I don't want to drive it and break it because something is overstressed. Also don't want to drive it if it is going to be dangerous.

Thanks,
Jason
