Default Potential 68 Camaro Stocker Build

I just assembled this car this year for a street strip deal, but I am thinking I might make a stocker out of it.
I have looked at what combos I can choose from.
At this point I am looking at keeping it a automatic.
So probably choosing between a 350 build or 396 build and if there is any advantage to a 327 I would look at that also.
Can I get some input on the pluses or minuses of those combos, trying to decide which way to go.
The car is a 68 with all new panels I have not had time to cut the marker lights in yet.
Thx in advance.
I can’t seem to post pictures from my iPad it keeps turning them upside down

Ok so 295hp 350 cid it is with a auto
So started gathering parts, picked up 3 sets of correct number heads with no previous work done to them, so will see which are the nicest for starters.

Think I would consider 327/275 either stick(274) or auto(270).

Not much excitement here for this combo ,Rory. Some guys have a 50 year head start on you. Just be prepared for lots of heads up runs, if you go rounds in these classes.

Ok thanks I will have a closer look at that then if you guys figure that may be a better way to go
Lol. I did realize yes probably way late to the program with this combo, just like the Camaro and wanted to do a stocker to have some fun and more personal challenges and gains on it more than anything …….but not a high maintenance one or so I thought maybe I will get bored .
Anyway I thought maybe the 350/295 being it was factored to 286 hp had some room …..?
But I think any class I look at with the car will put me in more popular classes were heads will be more common, unless I tried the 2 bbl 327 210 hp deal don’t know if there is any advantage to that .

Yeah, it's fine..Better with aftermarket heads IMO
Stick shift will keep you out of trouble, except around BG and Div. 3
Either that, or become real good at working the ladder. ;-)
Good luck
