[V8Vairs] questions

I have an aluminum firewall behind the seat, with plexiglass up to the  roof, 
and I recommend AGAINST it.  Heat comes around, as well as  fumes.  I am 
redesigning for a total enclosure.

OK, I  picked up a wrecked C5 corvette (pictures on corvaircenter) and am   
taking it apart, then I will finish taking apart the rest of my 66 Corsa  to  
marry the two. I have decided to try using the 4L60 transmission  with a 
truch  
bellhousing instead of the powerglide w/ billet  adapter. Its about two 
inches  
longer but 4 speed electronic seems  worth the trouble over a two speed 
manually  
shifted glide. I am  throwing this one out for opinions...Engine cover. What 
are  the pros  and cons of a insulated metal cover over annd in front of the 
engine  as  compared to a firewall in front and lexan divider up to the roof. 
It  
doesn't  seem like the latter would pass tech at the dragstrip. Also,  anyone 
interested  in trading a monza stick shift car dash for a  Corsa dash. Since 
everything in  the c5 is electronic I have to use  all electronic gauges, 
speedo, 
tach, etc. I  think I would like to  build them into a 3 hole monza instead 
of 
the 6 hole   corsa.
