My first project car 68 Camaro and I need help!

Welcome to the site, Chris. From your questions you definitely seem to be in the right place.

I don't have a Camaro so I can't give direct answers to your questions, but I can give some advice:

1. Break your post into several questions and put each in the appropriate section; the LSx swap experts may not watch the Welcome forum, etc.

2. Do a search. There's lots of folks who have done what you're doing and some of your questions are likely already answered.



3. On the wheels - tolerances weren't particularly tight when our cars were new, and 40 years takes its toll on a car. Your best bet on getting the proper backspacing is to measure your particular car as other folks may have more or less room.
